Alawite Council denies Sheikh Ghazal's death
The Supreme Council of the Alawite Sect in Syria and the diaspora denied reports of Sheikh Ghazal Ghazal's death or his presence in Erbil, emphasizing not to be drawn into rumors aimed at spreading fear and confusion. There had been reports claiming that Sheikh Ghazal was killed in an Iraqi city; he is considered an influential religious figure and an oppositionist to the Syrian government. He founded an Alawite Islamic council in 2025 and called for demonstrations advocating for federalism and decentralization. After protests in Syria, Sheikh Ghazal left the region and remained unaccounted for. It was only in February 2026 that rumors circulated suggesting he had arrived in Erbil and sought asylum through the French embassy without official approval.
