A page called "Suwayda Observatory Channel" published a report claiming that protests had begun in the provinces of Hama, Idlib, Hasakah, Raqqa, Deir ez-Zor, Qamishli, the Syrian coastal areas, Homs, Latakia and Tartus, demanding the execution of Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa in protest at his policies and at rising prices for food, construction materials and fuel.
The fact-checking team verified the circulating reports by reviewing open sources and following developments on the ground, and found the information to be untrue: no protests carrying the demands stated in the claim were observed in the areas mentioned, and there is no reliable information confirming that protests demanding President Ahmed al-Sharaa be executed had begun.
Although several Syrian areas have recently seen protests over fuel price increases, that has no connection to the circulating claims about the demands in question.
Why is this claim false?
Fabricated content: Promoting reports that protests had erupted in several Syrian areas demanding President Ahmed al-Sharaa be executed, without any field observation or reliable sources establishing it, is classified as false.
