Masyaf | HTS-Led General Security Attempt To Seize Alawite Property
In Masyaf, a woman (remaining anonymous) was at home with her daughter when armed members of the HTS-led General Security knocked on her door. Her husband, an Alawite and former court officer, is currently stuck in his village in the Latakia countryside, unable to join his family for fear of being targeted or killed on the dangerous route to Masyaf.
When the woman looked through the peephole, she saw men she recognized among the armed group and, reassured by their presence, opened the door. However, the men demanded that she vacate the small 60-square-meter house, claiming it would be seized because her husband is an Alawite and a former police officer.
The woman tried to clarify that her husband had served in the court police, not the criminal police, and asked the two familiar men to confirm this, but they remained silent, complicit in the forced eviction.
The situation only de-escalated when the men realized the house was registered in her name, not her husband's, offering a brief reprieve.
When the woman attempted to file a complaint at the local Public Security office, she was met with dismissive treatment, reflecting the broader climate of intimidation and property seizures targeting Alawites.
The incident highlights the systematic targeting of minority communities and the increasingly lawless environment as Syria's crisis deepens.

The Case of Mira
This situation demands emotional intelligence and common sense.
The exploitation of this story by all sides is evident, but the most important concern should be Mira's wellbeing.
Could this be a case of abduction? Yes.
Could it be a case of a runaway? Yes.
Could her appearance at her family's home reflect shame or a broken sense of honor for running away? Yes.
Could it be fear? Yes.
The truth is, we don't fully understand the intricate details of what has truly happened. There are contradictions from all sides, each attempting to protect themselves in some capacity.
However, this confusion should not distract from the more than 50 documented cases of missing women, including minors, whose fates remain unknown.
One story of a pregnant woman who was abducted, shot, and killed—verified by Amnesty International.
These are real tragedies, and the chaos surrounding Mira's case should not overshadow the families still searching for their loved ones.

Who is a Civilian? Shifting Standards in Syrian Conflict Reporting
The Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR), widely cited by the US State Department, claims to promote human rights, transitional justice, and democratic change in Syria. Founded in 2011 by Fadel Abdul Ghany, the organization has released numerous reports on violations throughout the Syrian conflict, asserting a commitment to impartiality and objectivity. However, recent reports have raised questions about its consistency and credibility.
For example, a March 11, 2025, report documented the extrajudicial killings of 803 individuals over four days, describing them as "people" without clearly identifying them as civilians, despite the majority being Alawites targeted by armed groups. This stands in contrast to a 2013 report on Baniyas, where the SNHR explicitly labeled victims as "civilians" and framed the violence as "blatant ethnic cleansing" without hesitation, using the term "massacre" 15 times.
The discrepancy in language and attribution of responsibility suggests a shifting standard in defining civilians and assigning blame, potentially undermining the organization's claims of neutrality.

Two Months Missing: Psychological Impact Must Be Considered
Mira disappeared for two months before resurfacing, raising serious concerns about her mental state. It's essential to consider the possibility of Stockholm Syndrome, a psychological phenomenon where hostages or victims of abuse develop positive feelings, empathy, or even loyalty toward their captors. This condition can emerge in situations of intense stress or trauma, where small acts of perceived kindness are seen as significant, fostering a bond.
As her story unfolds, we must remain mindful of the complex psychological factors at play and continue to advocate for those still missing.

Plea from Abdelhady Elhitte's Wife | Searching for Her Husband & Uncle
Hello, I am the wife of Abdelhady Elhitte. I am reaching out as a wife and mother, hoping to have my voice heard, just as others...
Five months ago, Public Security forces raided our home, claiming to search for weapons. They took my husband, Abdelhady Elhitte, and my uncle, Rodwan Elhitte, even though they have no ties to the former regime, are not state employees, and have never served in the army. They simply run a car rental business and have no connection to the conflict.
Since that day, we have searched everywhere, spoken to everyone, and appealed to all those we thought could help, but have found no trace of them. I have two young children, and my uncle is an elderly man.
It is my right to know where my husband and uncle are, and it is my right to have your support in raising my voice. Please, stand with us as fellow citizens. I have no other option left.

US Advisor: Walid al-Fares
The latest scenario circulating among US Congressional staff regarding Syria:
Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) will withdraw all of its factions from the coastal region in western Syria, in exchange for an agreement with the Alawites similar to the one the regime concluded with the SDF.
In return:
Most sanctions imposed on the "Syrian state" will be lifted.
This agreement will be between the US and Turkey, not between the US and al-Julani.

Mira & Ahmed | A Blurred Truth? A Masked Reality?
A new video interview from Mira and Ahmed addresses the reported abduction and subsequent marriage.
The video presents a story filled with contradictions of what's been reported, mentioning family pressure, an alleged previous engagement, and notions of a premeditated escape.
While these statements present a different side to the story, one has to question whether this is an attempt to mask the reality of Miras situation? Since the fall of Assad, countless stories have emerged, contradicting and masking the crimes of those affiliated or sympathize with HTS.
The situation does not erase the broader reality—dozens of Alawite women remain missing, their fates unknown, and their families left in agony.
Reports continue to surface, describing the abduction of women, often for the exploitation and desires of takfiris and other HTS affiliates. These voices must not be silenced or overshadowed by isolated narratives designed to mask a much darker reality.

Shati Arab, Tartous Countryside | Concerns Among Local Sunnis Due to Foreign Factions
The village of Shati Arab in the Tartous countryside has become a gathering point for extremist factions, raising concerns among local residents.
One resident shared the following message:
"Brother, how are you? I am Sunni from the village of Shati Arab. The village is now full of unfamiliar faces, dressed in a way that makes many of us uncomfortable. Some villagers seem fine with their presence, but others, like my younger brother, are frightened. Today, he asked where they came from and found out they are from the Talai' Center in Al-Haisha, using our village as a refuge because it is predominantly Sunni. I saw some of them at the popular Abu Al-Khair ice cream shop today."

A Mother’s Plea for Her Missing Children
An appeal from the mother of Lana, Lubna, and Hamza Mahmoud, who have been missing since March 23, 2025:
Nothing is more devastating than the agony of a mother left without answers, searching for her children while officials remain silent, more concerned with their public image than the suffering within their own borders.
Kidnapping is a crime, yet those responsible seem to find humor in the tragedy of others, echoing phrases like “Where were you 14 years ago?” as if pain and loss are mere punchlines.
It feels as though the reins of power have simply shifted hands—from the Assad regime to the forces of Al-Julani—different names, same methods of control, where the people are treated like subjects on a vast, unending farm.
