The Director explained “We will also work on reestablishing and repositioning the checkpoints that were a source of spreading fear and tension, arbitrary arrests, torture, and other repressive measures that were practiced by the checkpoints of the defunct regime in cities and villages, to transform them into new checkpoints that contribute to ensuring the security and safety of our people in Deir Ezzor, and protecting their rights and properties.”.
He added that these steps come within our continuous efforts to provide a safe environment for all civilians, and to guarantee their basic rights, which contributes to reconstruction and stability in the governorate.
