The Human Rights Watch explodes the regime's narrative and reveals the real killer, and the intervention of Assad and his wife to hide the crime
On Friday, September 2, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights revealed new details about the case of the killing of the Syrian girl, "Joy Istanbouli", whose incident aroused great local and Arab sympathy, as the Assad regime's intelligence was keen to hide the details of the real crime and revealed a fake killer of the girl.
According to the observatory, media loyal to the Assad regime martyred the killer, "Madian al-Ahmad", and his death was later announced at Ibn al-Nafis Hospital in the capital, Damascus.
The Syrian Observatory confirmed that the father of the girl Joy, "Tariq Istanbouli", is a security element in the 4th Division of the Assad regime's army, whose roadblocks are deployed on the roads, and he received a large sum of money from a drug dealer (MB), who is from Salhab in the countryside Hama, and works with the Lebanese "Hezbollah" militia, in exchange for passing a large shipment of narcotics, but the agreed shipment was stolen by unknown persons, according to the claim of the girl's father, "Joy".
He indicated that after this, the drug dealer (M.B) threatened the girl's father after the girl's father refused to return the drug shipment or the amount he received from the dealer.
Sources from the Syrian Observatory confirmed that a member of the MB drug group kidnapped the girl "Joy" and made an audio and video call with her father and killed her in cold blood in the presence of the attacker before smuggling the killer to Lebanon after obtaining an identity card in the name of another person.
After the incident of the girl “Joy” spread in the Assad regime, it did not go unnoticed, as the head of the Assad regime and his wife Asma directly intervened to fabricate the crime, according to the observatory, so that the drug file and its spread in Syria would not be exposed.
It should be noted that due to the deteriorating security and economic conditions in the Assad-controlled areas, cases of child abduction have increased, with sentences ranging from life imprisonment "regardless of whether the kidnapper is a child or an adult."
