The Normalization of Horror report issued by the Syrian Association for Citizens’ Dignity in 2021 found that about 50 per cent of respondents in Assad-controlled areas do not feel safe, including those who did not leave immediately. Most of them refer to the grip of the security authorities, insecurity, and outbreaks of violence. Crime is a reason for not feeling safe, and 67 per cent of returnees from outside Syria do not feel safe. Those who live in the areas of reconciliation are the worst, with 94 per cent saying they do not feel safe. They indicated that there are no secure areas, and some practical safety measures show that security is fragile everywhere; Because of the security policies by the same authority. 

According to SACD research, 79 per cent of the respondents expressed their resentment at the absence of the rule of law and the extreme deterioration of the security service. 

The annual report issued by SNHR launched at 15th March 2022 documented that 228,647 Syrian Civilians were Killed, including 14,664 by torture, with 151,462 arbitrarily detained/forcibly disappeared, and 14 million others Displaced. 

According to the latest report issued by the SNHR, the information records the killing of 67 civilians, including 20 children and three women, at the hands of the parties to the conflict and the controlling forces in Syria in March 2022, of whom the Syrian regime killed seven civilians, including one child. While Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham killed one woman, ISIS killed one civilian. It also recorded the killing of 5 civilians at the hands of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces. According to the report, 53 civilians, including 19 children and two women, were killed by other parties. 

According to the same report, the analysis of the data showed that the Daraa governorate, supposed to be a reconciliation area where military operations stopped years ago, topped the rest of the governorates with approximately 40 per cent of victims documented in March 2022, followed by Deir Ezzor governorate with approximately 21 per cent, while Aleppo came in third with about 16 per cent of the casualties. 

Hostilities do not mean only military actions such as shelling, bombings, and battles, but also arrests, enforced disappearances, field liquidations and other crimes are among the hostile acts carried out by the Syrian regime towards the Syrian people, just as reducing hostilities does not mean killing several people. Less than the Syrian people are at the hands of the regime, but rather stopped completely and permanently. In 2021, the Syrian regime and its Iranian and Russian allies killed 326 people, in addition to the liquidation and killing operations carried out by the Syrian Democratic Forces, which killed 75 people and other military forces that target the Syrian people. In 2021 the Syrian regime arrested 1032 people, including 23 women and 19 children. 

SACD also documented 520 cases in the countryside of Damascus, Daraa, and northeastern Syria, distributed between kidnappings and arrests by military forces on the ground. 

These statistics and others are an indication that the hostilities against the Syrian people did not stop and are continuing without interruption, decline or relentlessness. 

SACD’s research has also found that the proportion of detainees among the participants since the beginning of the conflict is high; but it confirms that this trend is still continuing, as there was a noticeable increase in 2019 and 2020 until September compared to 2018, despite the fact that the regime was launching major military attacks on Idlib and Aleppo in 2018 and gaining more land.
