Syrian committee investigating violence in Sweida seeks mandate extension

A Syrian committee investigating violent events in the southern Suwayda province said Sunday that its probe is still ongoing to uncover the full truth, ensure justice for victims, and prevent future violations.

Syrian committee said it has requested a two-month extension of its mandate, as it couldn't enter the city of Suwayda in the country's south, revealing that it has "submitted a legal request to detain a number of army and security personnel whose involvement in violations was proven."
