Syrian Observatory for HR documents deaths of 7,670 people since fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime
Damascus - Saba: The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights documented the deaths of 7,670 people across Syria between December 8, 2024, and June 6, 2025, as a result of ongoing violence and violations by local and foreign parties, along with widespread security chaos. The Observatory explained that 5,784 civilians were killed, including 306 children and 422 women, reflecting the fragility of the security situation and the increasing threat to the most vulnerable groups in society. In a human rights report, the Observatory documented patterns of killing and gross violations of the right to life that continued during the period following the collapse of the regime, with multiple parties responsible for committing these crimes, whether through direct killing or deliberate neglect of the safety of the population. According to the report, civilians accounted for 75.4% of the total number of deaths during the six months, while non-civilians accounted for 24.6%. The Observatory said: This distribution reflects a significantly higher proportion of civilians affected compared to non-civilians in documented incidents during this period. This report documents a series of violations and violent incidents that have claimed the lives of dozens, amid the absence of the state and the disintegration of security services. The report recorded casualties from stray bullets during public events and personal disputes, with civilians being killed unintentionally, reflecting the absence of even the most basic standards for arms control. It said: In the absence of security oversight, the frequency of explosions in markets and public streets has escalated, resulting in dozens of deaths. No party has claimed responsibility for these attacks, which have contributed to deepening the climate of daily terror among the population. In areas controlled by armed gangs, the report documented killings of civilians by members of armed gangs, whether during raids or through direct gunfire. It also highlighted cases of torture leading to death inside gang-run detention centers, amid a lack of accountability and independent oversight. In areas controlled by the al-Jolani gang, the report documented deaths under torture in official detention centers, amid a systematic denial of justice and detainees' legal rights. Instances of direct killings carried out by groups loyal to the al-Jolani gang were also documented in the post-collapse phase, reflecting the continued unchecked retaliatory violence. The report stated: "Despite its declining territorial control, ISIS continues to carry out assassinations and liquidations of its opponents, targeting individuals and various areas, exacerbating human losses and strengthening the presence of its active cells." It added: "The Israeli enemy also launched airstrikes on targets inside Syria following the fall of the regime, but some of these strikes resulted in the deaths of civilians, casualties documented by the report as part of cross-border operations." The report added: In northeastern Syria, repeated Turkish attacks on SDF-controlled areas have killed a number of civilians, including women and children, in clear violation of the laws of armed conflict. It continued: The report also documents cases of killing Syrians attempting to cross the border into Jordan and Turkey, where they were shot by border guards, highlighting the risks facing civilians. The report also documents violations attributed to SDF members, including summary executions and excessive use of force during security operations, raising questions about accountability mechanisms in these areas. The report also documented massacres committed on sectarian or revenge-related grounds, targeting individuals and families based on their previous positions or affiliations, in a scenario that reproduces cycles of civil violence and undermines the chances of reconciliation. It said: Six months after the fall of the Syrian regime, gross violations of life and human rights continue, amid a multiplicity of actors and a lack of genuine accountability. Based on the report, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights called for the establishment of an independent investigative mechanism, the enforcement of respect for international law by all parties, and ensuring full justice for victims. It also called for awareness-raising efforts, disarmament, and the removal of remnants of war. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print more of (International)
