Protesters in Deir ez-Zor province raised chants and slogans demanding accountability for those responsible for the violations the region has witnessed in recent years, while expressing their opposition to the return or reintegration of figures they associate with the practices of the former regime.
Participants in the gatherings emphasized that their demands center on achieving justice, securing redress for victims, and upholding the principle of accountability. They maintained that any steps regarding the reintegration of controversial figures must take place within a transparent legal framework that respects the rights of those harmed and the sentiments of victims’ families.
These developments unfold amidst ongoing local discussions regarding transitional justice and mechanisms for addressing issues from the previous era, alongside growing calls to strengthen trust between citizens and state institutions through transparency and accountability.
