In the aftermath of the regime change in Syria, fighters linked to the new leadership have executed 35 individuals, mainly ex-officers of the Assad government, over a period of 72 hours. The authorities, while conducting security sweeps in Homs, have also been implicated in severe human rights violations, including arbitrary arrests and executions under the guise of law enforcement. Reports indicate that members of religious minorities have faced additional humiliations, underscoring a climate of chaos and reprisals fueled by sectarian tensions and the potential settling of scores from the previous regime's era.
Fighters affiliated with Syria's new leaders have conducted 35 summary executions within 72 hours, primarily targeting former Assad-era officers under the pretext of security sweeps.
