Jaber Mahrez in Syrian custody over Sayda Shelters and Hamza Al-Khatib
Colonel Jaber Mahrez Ibrahim has been arrested. He previously served as the commander of the 138th Air Defense Brigade in Sidon, in the eastern countryside of Daraa, during the previous regime in Syria. Internal security forces confirmed that initial investigations revealed his involvement in issuing orders for killings, arrests, and suppression of protesters. Additionally, he participated in military campaigns targeting villages and towns in eastern Daraa countryside, was linked to the massacre in Masyf al-Saida that resulted in about 120 deaths, and was associated with systematic torture operations targeting civilians, including the child Hamza Al-Khatib. These steps are part of the Syrian authorities’ efforts to hold accountable those involved in violations and crimes against Syrians and to bring them to justice.
