News Center- The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), a Britain-based monitoring group, released a report on Sunday, announcing that militants affiliated with the Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) government in Syria executed 35 people, mostly of Assad-era officers, in the last 72 hours.

According to the report, the authorities installed by the HTS have carried out multiple arrests in Homs Province over unspecified violations.

On Friday, the authorities accused members of a “criminal group” who used a security sweep to commit abuses against residents, of “posing as members of the security services”.

SOHR said the arrests “follow grave violations and summary executions that had cost the lives of 35 people over the past 72 hours”.

‘An unprecedented level of cruelty and violence’

The monitoring group condemned “an unprecedented level of cruelty and violence” in Syria and compiled a list of “mass arbitrary arrests, atrocious abuse, attacks against religious symbols, mutilations of corpses, summary and brutal executions targeting civilians.”
