Human Rights Watch on Thursday criticized the Syrian government for what it says is the lack of accountability on perpetrators of sectarian violence and killings on all sides in clashes between government-backed armed Bedouin clans and Druze militias in a southern province in July that killed hundreds of civilians.
In its report, the rights group said it documented 86 “apparently unlawful killings” of civilians in Sweida province, of which 67 were Druze and 19 were Bedouin.
