Demanding international protection | Alawis fleeing ki*llings, stage sit-in protest at Russian base in Syrian coast

Dozens of people who fled their homes to seek refuge at the Russian Hmeimim base staged a sit-in protest against the executions and crimes committed by members of the Ministries of Defence and Interior and their allied gunmen, against members of the Alawite sect.
The protesters chanted against ethnic cleansing and held banners with slogans demanding international protection from the massacres that have left hundreds dead.
The sheltering at the base refused to leave and return to their homes despite local efforts urging them to return with assurances of protection.
SOHR has documented the death of 973 civilians in recent days, all of whom were executed and killed in cold blood.
Living conditions in the coastal region and its mountains have worsened as food supplies and daily necessities have been cut off for days. This coincided with the ongoing security operation in the coastal area, which was launched following an attack by Alawite militants on security forces’ checkpoints and the Ministry of Defence on Thursday, March 6.
