| [EN.ZAMANALWSL.NET] Despite the attempts of the security forces to control the Western countryside of Homs, many groups of “Shabiha” still uncontrollable, as they commit crimes of killing, abduction, looting and they become the main decision makers in the area, and members of these groups of Alawite and Christian majority have become acting in the Western countryside of Homs in the way they like without any deterrent. Many names given to these groups like: Karir, nadhir, Bishr Yaziji, Kherbit tin, Khirbit Hamam and Ghawar. One of the crimes was the one committed against the lawyer Ibrahim Juma from the village of Baroha, who was abducted with his wife and one of relatives in his way to Damascus driving his luxury car. Both his wife and other lady were released to bring the ransom of 2 million Syrian pound. Although the wife recognised the abductor and the one who took the ransom, but the security forces done nothing, moreover, the lawyer was not released, and his his body was found burned in a landfill of the village of Kherbit Hamam, which was identified by the DNA sample. All the security forces had done, was considering the lawyer as a “martyr” till catching all criminals responsible for his death. Two other bodies were found with his body, and no one recognised them. Another crime was against a young man from al-Akrad neighbourhood in al-Arida town, his body was found, after abducting and killing him to steal the 400 thousand Syrian pound he was carrying. His killer was known, who was one of the National Defense Forces, who was known of his crimes of killing, looting, rape, prostitution, which forced the security forces to prosecute him and in their attempt to catch him he was killed during mutual firing, which annoyed the criminal’s family which threatened of revenge, but mediation by the sect Sheikhs calmed down the tension. Another similar crime was against a lady called “Khadouj” from the village of al-Zara, she disappeared when she left the house, she was wearing 12 golden bracelets and earrings, her body was not found, and the security forces was not able to do anything to find her despite the suspicions were directed to a member of the National Defense Forces “Shabih” lives near her and was following her. There are many of similar crimes in the countryside of Homs committed by members of the national defense Forces, but no one is till now able to stop them and their crimes. |
