Extrajudicial Killing Claims the Lives of 94 Civilians, including children and women in Syria

The Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR) announced in its monthly report released today that extrajudicial killing claimed the lives of 94 civilians in Syria in August 2021, including 32 children, 10 women and seven individuals due to torture, noting that Daraa governorate saw the largest death toll of civilian victims killed by the Syrian regime.

This report details the death toll of victims documented killed by the parties to the conflict and the controlling forces in Syria in August 2021, particularly focusing on the victims amongst children and women, and those who died due to torture.

As the report notes, the evidence collected by SNHR indicates that some of the attacks documented in the report were deliberately directed against civilians and civilian objects.
