Members of the Russian forces from the Russian Reconciliation Center, accompanied by Sheikh “Nawaf Al-Bashir” and the mayor of the town of Hatla, attended the funeral ceremony for the victim, “Saja Al-Awwad”, who died after being run over by a Russian armored vehicle.
The Russian forces paid a financial ransom of $1,000, equivalent to 3.5 million pounds, in order to avoid the wave of anger and resentment that pervaded Deir Ezzor due to the incident that has been repeated in recent times.
The blood money was paid during a session attended by Sheikh “Nawaf al-Bashir” and his son “Laith”, in addition to a Russian general and his translator, the mayor of the town of Hatla, “Fadhel al-Younis,” the head of the military security detachment in Salhiya “Abu Haider”, and the head of the Russian-Syrian reconciliation committee in Deir Ezzor, “Abdulaziz al-Sahafi.” “.
The attendees considered the run-over incident a fate and destiny, and thanked the Russian general for his cooperation, and praised what they called “the Russian martyrs on Syrian soil” – as they put it.
The accident took place at the Al-Halabi roundabout of the town of Hatla, east of Deir Ezzor last night, while the run-down also caused serious injuries to her son and husband, “Mizr Yassin Al-Masikh”.
