Mass arbitrary arrests targeting men and women from the Christian community in the city of Al-Qusayr, western Homs countryside, with no charges or wrongdoing. The following individuals were arrested on September 6, 2025:

🔹 Women:

• Haidar Kasouha
• Emil Kasouha

📌 These arrests by the General Security of the de facto authorities are part of ongoing violations in the region, pointing to attempts to forcibly displace residents, particularly Christians, driven by sectarian motives.

🌟 What is happening in Al-Qusayr is not limited to random arrests; it is a systematic policy to empty the area of its original communities through fear, repression, and starvation—a continuous crime committed daily in plain sight of the world and its shameful silence.

⚠️ Concise Legal Background

Since the seizure of power by the de facto authority, led by Ahmad Al-Shara (Abu Mohammad Al-Jolani) in Syria in December 2025, vast areas of the country have witnessed a recurrent and systematic pattern of serious violations against Alawites, Druze, Christians, and other religious minorities. These violations have been perpetrated by forces affiliated with the Ministry of Interior (General Security apparatus) and the Ministry of Defense of the de facto authority, as well as by civilian individuals loyal to the authority.

Documented abuses have targeted all civilian age groups, including children, women, and the elderly, and include:

1. Mass killings, summary executions, and other forms of unlawful killing, including extrajudicial executions;

2. Torture and other cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment, including physical assault and sexual violence;

3. Arbitrary arrest and detention, enforced disappearance, and abduction;

4. Deliberate destruction of livelihoods, including the burning of forests, agricultural lands, villages, and civilian property, resulting in forced displacement;

5. Forcible seizure of homes, confiscation of private property, and deliberate impoverishment;

6. Looting and destruction of civilian property;

7. Attacks against places of worship and the destruction of religious property;

8. Discrimination and persecution on religious, sectarian, and political grounds;

9. Institutionalized discrimination and persecution;

10. Deprivation of liberty, including imprisonment accompanied by torture or ill-treatment in detention facilities;

11. Mass arrests, sham judicial proceedings, and forced confessions obtained under torture;

12. Collective and arbitrary dismissal of civilian employees, economic persecution, and denial of access to public employment;

13. Hate crimes and incitement to violence;

14. Systematic incitement and institutionalized media disinformation;

15. Repression and use of force against peaceful demonstrations;

16. Institutional assaults, fabrication of security justifications, manufactured charges, and attacks carried out under false pretexts;

17. Denial of violations, destruction or concealment of evidence, and obstruction of accountability mechanisms.

The systematic and widespread nature of these acts, coupled with their deliberate targeting of specific religious groups, indicates the existence of an organized policy or practice of persecution; such acts may amount to crimes against humanity and religious persecution under international law and customary international humanitarian law.

🛑 The livelihood of Uncle Abu Tawfiq was completely destroyed by fire in Jableh, near the Cement Factory. He relied solely on this service vehicle to support his three children, and now he has no source of income. The vehicle was entirely destroyed, and the cost of repairs is extremely high, threatening his ability to provide for his family as the New Year approaches. 💔

🛑 In the Al-Raml Al-Shamali area, the kiosk of young Ali and his car were vandalized. Ali depended on this kiosk to support his family, and after the incident, his only source of income was cut off.

The cases of Abu Tawfiq and Ali reflect the suffering of many civilians who lost their cars and businesses in various Alawite-majority neighborhoods due to organized attacks and destruction carried out by elements and supporters of the terrorist de facto authority.

🔴 Details:
Qusai was one of the civilian worshippers at Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib Mosque, which was targeted by a terrorist bombing on 26/12/2025 in the Wadi Al-Dhahab neighborhood of Homs. He was transported to the hospital after his injury. After five days of resilience and struggle against his injuries, he sadly passed away, leaving behind deep sorrow and pain for his family and friends.

People close to him mentioned that the family’s situation is difficult, and he was the sole provider for his wife and children.

✍️ Terrorism steals lives and robs smiles, leaving behind homes shrouded in darkness and memories that time cannot erase.
May Qusai Ibrahim Al-Diban rest in peace, and may patience and solace be granted to his family and loved ones.

Four civilian employees were killed and a fifth was injured as a result of a sectarian-motivated shooting that targeted nurses and civilian staff members from the Alawite community in front of Al-Kindi Private Hospital in the city of Homs, shortly after the end of their official work shift.

🔎 Incident Details:
According to field sources, two armed assailants riding a motorcycle, adhering to the extremist ideology of Ibn Taymiyyah adopted by the de facto authorities, carried out the attack after monitoring the victims at the hospital entrance.
As the employees exited the hospital and boarded their vehicle following the end of their shift, the assailants opened direct fire on them, resulting in the immediate killing of four victims and the injury of the fifth with varying degrees of wounds.

⚠️ The method of execution indicates prior knowledge of the victims’ departure time, raising serious suspicions of information leakage from within the hospital regarding their movements.

🕯️ Names of the Victims:
1. Engineer Lial Salloum
2. Mazen Al-Asmar
3. Dhul-Fiqar Zaher
4. Alaa Wanous

🚑 Injured:
• Osama Diab – injured

This crime occurs within the context of a systematic policy targeting members of the Alawite community, based on starvation, deprivation of employment opportunities, and the direct killing of those who manage to remain in work, amid a near-total absence of basic security guarantees in areas under the control of the de facto authorities.
