Rejecting heinous practices by Iranians | Video by SOHR shows meeting held by religious, social and political figures with Russians in Al-Suwaydaa

Al-Suwaydaa province: The dignitaries and elders from Al-Mazraa’ town in the western countryside of Al-Suwaydaa received a delegation of Russian military forces and police on Sunday morning.

The meeting has been attended by Al-Sheikh Laith Al-Balaous, religious and social figures and representatives of “Al-Liwaa Al-Souri” party, at the guest house of the martyr Wahid Al-Balaous in Al-Mazaraa’ town.

SOHR has obtained a video, during which dignitaries confirmed their rejection of the Iranian presence and Lebanese “Hezbollah” in Al-Suwaydaa, blaming Iran for drug trafficking as Iranians support terrorist gangs in Al-Suwaydaa that commit murders and kidnappings with the support of the security services, especially military and State security services.

The dignitaries also believe that the poor living condition in Al-Suwaydaa is due to the rampant corruption that Iran mainly contributed in, prompting the residents of Al-Suwaydaa to emigrate out of Syria.

In late July, SOHR documented the death of 24 fighters in the latest dramatic developments in A’til and Salim towns in Al-Suwaidaa; they are as follows:

• 17 members of “Raji Falhout” faction, including seven, were killed in unknown circumstances.

• Seven local gunmen were killed while they were attacking the headquarters of “Raji Falhout” faction in Salim and Atil towns.
