Syrians marched in Aleppo this week over the death of a man who was arrested and allegedly beaten by security forces. Twenty-nine-year-old Mohammad Ghamira, a father of two and a former volunteer with the White Helmets civil defense group, died in a hospital on Sunday after being released from jail. Ghamira was detained after he allegedly stole money. Syria’s Emergency Management Minister Raed al-Saleh, who is the former head of the White Helmets, wrote on X that Ghamira died of cerebral and gastrointestinal bleeding brought on by a beating he took after being detained.
