To the media and public opinion
On December 17, the Internal Security Forces of NE Syria found the bodies of two girls who were shot dead in Deir Ezzor.
As a result, our forces initiated a comprehensive investigation to detect the circumstances of the crime and those involved. In addition, our forces pledge to prosecute the criminals and bring them to justice, regardless of their motives for that crime which is contrary to society’s public morals and the law of the Autonomous Administration in NE Syria.
While we condemn this heinous crime and the perpetrators, we are fully confident in our people in Deir Ezzor and their cooperation with our forces to identify the criminals and hold them accountable.
We also commend their vigilance and call them not to be dragged into the strife that some outlawed groups affiliated with hostile parties are trying to exploit to undermine the security and social peace of the region.
We affirm that nobody is above the law when it comes to our people’s safety, civil peace, and the principles of justice in the region.
