Murder |  Ex-fighter of opposition factions found dead in eastern Daraa

Daraa Province – Syrian Observatory for Human Rights: SOHR sources have confirmed that a man was fund dead and dumped in the area between Al-Taybah and Al-Jizah in the eastern countryside of Daraa with marks of torture on his body.

 

The victim is an ex-fighter of opposition factions and the former chief of the “Free Police” in Al-Jizah who has struck a reconciliation deal with security services after regime forces control on the area. It is worth noting that the victim was kidnapped yesterday.

 

Since the beginning of security chaos in Daraa in early June 2019, Syrian Observatory activists have documented more than 460 attacks and assassination attempts by gunfire and detonations of IEDs, motorcycle-bombs and car-bombs. These attacks and assassinations claimed the lives of 298 persons, and they are as follows:

 

• 68 civilians, including seven women and four children

 

• 159 regime soldiers, loyalists and collaborators with regime security services

 

• 47 fighters of the faction who struck “reconciliation and settlements” deals with the regime and became in the ranks of regime’s security branches, including former commanders

 

• 17 Syrian militiamen affiliated to the Lebanese Hezbollah and Iranian forces

 

• Six members of the so-called 5th Corps which was established by Russia.
