Do you think the elections will actually allow parties to freely participate? Now im sure a certain side will win, simply because of the amount of pro govt nationalists, but the question of a, say federal party (Because syria will not allow parties that are centered on religons or certain regions, i think leftist minorities may form a party so they can have some autonomy.) would genuinely be allowed in and actually have the peoples votes for that party count.

📌Statement issued by the Head of the Investigation Committee into the Sweida Incidents:

In the context of following up on the work of the Investigation Committee into the Sweida Incidents, formed pursuant to Ministerial Order No. (1287) dated 31 July 2025, to pursue the investigation into the violations that accompanied the regrettable events witnessed by the province in mid-July 2025, the competent judicial authorities continue to take the necessary legal measures based on the findings and recommendations reached by the Committee, in a manner consistent with the provisions of the law, principles of justice, and the rule of law.

The Committee affirms that all judicial measures are taken in accordance with legal procedures and the guarantees enshrined by the law, in a way that preserves the rights of all parties, ensures the right to defense, and guarantees a fair trial.

In this regard, the Military Public Prosecution has initiated the referral of a number of individuals to the Investigating Judge, and some cases have been referred to the Military Criminal Court in Damascus, where the court has begun hearing them in public sessions starting from 1 July 2026, in the presence of the defendants and their attorneys, in accordance with the procedures stipulated in the applicable laws and the guarantees of a fair trial.

The Committee affirms that the publicity of the trials and the guarantee of the right to defense represent two fundamental pillars in the path of justice, reflecting a commitment to transparency and the rule of law, and enhancing confidence in the judicial procedures.

The Committee also emphasizes that the purpose of these measures is to verify the facts and hold accountable anyone whose responsibility for any violations is proven, in accordance with the law and after completing the judicial procedures, regardless of their status or the entity to which the acts are attributed, in a manner that achieves the principle of equality before the law, protects human rights, and upholds the dignity of all citizens.

The Committee is following with great interest all the cases referred to the Military Public Prosecution based on its recommendations, particularly the case related to the Al-Matouna incident that resulted in the killing of a number of civilians, as part of its commitment to completing the path of investigation, ensuring the achievement of justice, and uncovering the truth in accordance with the law.
