In the last days of November last year, rebel fighters in Syria began to take Syrian cities one after the other, and eventually established their control over Damascus. Former President Bashar al -Assad was forced to leave the country. Since then, representatives of the faction called Hayat Tahrir al-Sham are now in the role of acting administration.
It is reported that in recent times, supporters of the former government and other armed persons in Syria had carried out a series of attacks, after which there are reports of killing women, children and injured fighters in retaliation.
The current caretaker administration’s security forces and unknown gunmen have been reported to be killed without hearing on the basis of the community. Supporting elements of the former Syrian government have also allegedly carried out such incidents.
The head of human rights cases has expressed deep disappointment on these incidents in his statement on Sunday.
Human Rights High Commissioner Turk has pointed out that the acting administration had expressed the intention of respecting the law, and under this, immediate steps would have to be taken to protect the Syrian citizens.
He urged to take all necessary measures to prevent human rights violations and misconduct and said that the accountability of the culprits would have to be ensured.
The High Commissioner Office has urged to conduct a fair investigation in a transparent manner immediately, according to the international standards of all cases of murder and human rights abuses. He said that groups that terrorize common citizens will have to be brought into the dock of justice.
Volkar Turk alerted that these incidents, online mediums and general life are constantly bouncing in the messages and speeches. In view of this, Syria requires a wide -scale transitional judicial process, which will have to be included under the leadership of Syrian citizens. On the foundation of truth, justice and accountability.
