Crimes in Daraa | Two bodies found with torture marks

Daraa Governorate – Syrian Observatory for Human Rights:

Security chaos continues to escalate in Daraa governorate through assassinations, killings, kidnappings, abuse, torture, targeting and bombings which are taking place throughout the region on a daily basis.

SOHR sources say that the bodies of two young men of the same family were found. The victims hail from the town of Barqa in northern countryside of Daraa. The bodies were found with signs of torture, east of the town of Nawa in the north-western rural Daraa. No information about the causes and circumstances of the incident has been received yet.

This brings the number of attacks and assassination attempts in various forms and methods by detonating IEDs, mines, booby-trapped vehicles and shootings from past June to date, to more than 484 attacks.

While the number of those who killed and died in the same period has risen to 318 persons, 79 of whom are civilians, including seven women and seven children, in addition to 164 regime soldiers, loyalists and collaborators with regime security services.

52 members of opposition factions were also killed, those who made “settlements and reconciliations” with the regime and became members of regime security services, including former leaders, and 17 members of Syrian militias affiliated to Lebanese “Hezbollah” and Iranian forces, in addition to six members of so-called “Fifth Corps”.
