📍 Location: Rdeima al-Liwa village – Northern Suwayda
👤 Victim: Martyr Wahib Ali al-Ak (Abu Hamed)
• The victim was executed in a field execution; his body was desecrated. A lute was played over it by elements of the de facto authority (General Security, Ministry of Defense) and allied tribal militias—turning a symbol of harmony into a tool of mockery.
• According to activist Khaldon Khayou, Wahib was his neighbor, known for simplicity, innocence, and a constant smile. Beloved by all, he never harmed anyone—truly a man with a heart of gold. Khaldon added he was the last to see Wahib alive, warning him: “Wahib, hide, they’re going to kill you!” Wahib replied: “Well, that’s great… as if killing me was the only thing missing!” They killed him nonetheless.
• The killers placed the lute above his body and played their discordant tune, showing that even beauty can be twisted into a weapon. Khaldon said: “That same lute, over which Wahib used to nod his head joyfully, refused this time to smile to the sound of death. You did not need my lute or my neighbor to prove your dissonance—the world already knows you are off the beaten track of humanity.”

This morning, members of the General Security forces affiliated with the de facto authority carried out a field execution by opening direct fire on civilian Hassan Mahdi Al-Hajji near a car wash in Al-Mazraa Village, killing him instantly.

This crime is part of a systematic campaign of violations that includes killings, abductions, violence, forced displacement, and starvation on sectarian grounds, amid a complete absence of accountability or deterrence.

Father Tony Boutros, representative of the Melkite Greek Catholic Bishop in As-Suwayda – Church of Shahba, recounts the suffering of more than 30,000 Christians in the governorate. He directed his message to the global Christian community, describing the situation as 50 days have passed since the terrorist attack on As-Suwayda by the de facto authorities, which also targeted and burned six churches, accompanied by forced displacement, assaults, and thefts against Christians in the region. More than 250 Christian families have been severely affected, and several innocent Christians have been martyred.

Father Boutros emphasized that unarmed Christian civilians have been subjected to the worst forms of killings, humiliation, assaults, beatings, and abuse.

He said: “We are deeply shocked by the silence of Christians around the world.” He expressed his gratitude to Sheikh Mowafaq Tarif for his efforts, appealing to him with grief and hope to carry and amplify the voices of the Christians of As-Suwayda to every corner of the globe.

Father Tony also issued an urgent appeal to the international community, humanitarian organizations, and Christians around the world to condemn the atrocities committed against the Christians of As-Suwayda and all its people, and to work tirelessly to ensure their voices are heard by all possible means.

Surveillance cameras in the Al-Asad Villages – Fifth Island area in Rif Dimashq recorded an incident involving the violation of property and murder, carried out by elements of the Ministry of Defense under the de facto authority, led by Ahmad al-Shar’ (“Al-Joulani”).

The assailants also ransacked the villa and stole its contents, constituting a clear violation of property rights and the right to life.
