The murder and abduction of Syrian religious minorities was accelerated after President Ahmad Alshara’s speech at the United Nations General Assembly in New York late last month, Cradle reported.
In a speech also known as Abu Muhammad al-Jollani, he pledged to protect the minorities of Alawet, Druze, Christians and Ismaili, “I promise to bring justice to those who are troubled by the blood of the Syrian people.”
However, a wave of sectarian murder and temptation followed his return. On October 4th, a 14-year-old girl disappeared in Latakia a few weeks after being rescued from a previous aid.
A few days ago, 34-year-old Mary Ali Hassan disappeared in Han, and the body of engineer Maji Khalil was found in Dara after being arrested by internal security forces. In Latakia, Shiite Farid Yassar Haji Musa was killed because the temptants were unable to secure a ransom.
Other incidents include the murder of Mahmoud Khneiseh in Hama, the shooting of two Christian brothers in the Christian Homs Valley, and the abduction of dozens of Alawian women and girls since January, according to Amnesty International.
Large massacres also target minorities. In March, at least 1,500 Alawe civilians were killed on Syrian coast, and four months later, 167 Druze civilians were executed in Sweida, according to the SOHR.
Amnesty International said: “The Syrian authorities have repeatedly committed to building Syria for all Syrians, but they have failed to stop acquiring and temptation.
