The Syrian Network for Human Rights stated that the Syrian regime deliberately destroyed Syrian cities from the beginning Syrian Revolution In 2011, with the aim of seizing property and real estate in those cities through “illegal laws.”
This came in a report issued by the network entitled “Mechanisms by which the Syrian regime employs the laws it has established to control tens of thousands of homes, lands, and real estate in Homs Governorate,” noting that the policy of destruction followed by the regime was deliberate and deliberate.
The report was based on my case study Baba Amr neighborhood in hummus And the city of Al-Qusayr in its countryside.
The report explained that the regime has expanded operations to seize citizens’ real estate ownership since 2018, based on “illegal” laws and decrees.
These laws mainly targeted three categories: refugees and displaced persons (about 12 million), the forcibly disappeared (about 112,713), and dead civilians and soldiers (about half a million).
The report touched on the close connection between the violations committed by the regime against citizens and the violation of home, land, and property rights, as the regime’s violations caused the displacement and deportation of residents.
The report provided statistics on the number of deaths, massacres, detainees, and forced disappearances.
The report also documented, as of last August, that the regime’s aircraft had dropped at least 3,636 explosive barrels on Homs Governorate since July 2012, and at least 7 attacks in which chemical weapons were used on Homs Governorate since December 23, 2012, and recorded what At least 18 cluster munition attacks have occurred since July 2012, and the killing of 110 civilians by landmine explosions has been documented since March 2011.
The report concluded that the artillery and aerial bombardment of a number of cities, neighborhoods, and countryside in Homs Governorate was very excessive by the regime and its allies, which “confirms that this targeting was not for a military purpose, but rather for other goals, represented in destroying the largest possible amount of real estate properties with the aim of controlling them.” After “forcing its owners to emigrate from it first, then ensuring that they do not return there again.”
The report recommended that the international community and the United Nations need to condemn the Syrian regime’s dominance over the legislative, judicial, and executive authorities.
He exposed his practices of destroying Syrian homes with the aim of controlling them through laws that mainly target the displaced, refugees, the forcibly disappeared, and the unregistered dead.
At the conclusion of its report, the Syrian Network called on donor countries, investors, and humanitarian agencies working in Syria to stop providing funds to the Syrian regime for building reconstruction and rehabilitation programs.
