A man from Jarjisa village in south of Hama governorate, named as Mahmoud Khaled Fatrawi, was killed on December 16, 2021, when a landmine whose source hasn’t yet been identified exploded in farmland adjacent to al Zara village in the governorate southern suburbs which is controlled by Syrian regime forces. SNHR is still trying to contact witnesses to obtain more details of the incident.
SNHR calls on the governing forces in each area to bear responsibility for protecting civilians in the areas under their control, to reveal the sites of planted landmines and to remove them. We have documented hundreds of deaths and injuries resulting from landmine explosions, which will continue to constitute a real threat to people, particularly children, for several years to come.
