However the performance of the transitional government in managing the stage including the policies followed and practices issued by its affiliated entities lead to registration of\u00a0 widespread violations targeting various segments of Syrian society, especially journalists, female and male workers in media field, who are supposed to enjoy protection especially under International Human Rights laws.<\/p>\n<p>During the twelve-month period, this report documented dozens of serious violations for male and female journalists, activists and media staff in various Syrian regions and the parties responsible for these violations varied between agencies and authorities affiliated with the government transitional forces, the Turkish occupation that continues actually taking control on a number of cities and towns in Northern Syria in addition to the armed factions and mercenaries associated with them, which constitutes a clear violation to the legal obligations of these parties under The International Humanitarian Law and the International Human Rights Law.<\/p>\n<p>This report comes based on any systematic efforts made by the Rights Council in the Free Media Association in the North and East of Syria which worked, within the available capabilities, \u00a0to highlight \u00a0and document its violations committed \u00a0against female and male journalists in all Syrian regions and towns.

One of the most prominent of these cases is the arrest of journalist Raman Hesso, a program producer on Kurdistan Channel 24, at the beginning of July 2025, a day after his return to the city of Amouda, coming from the Kurdistan region. He was released a day after his arrest.<\/p>\n<p>Some journalists also faced problems with some media institutions, but the Free Media Association intervened to address them and the majority of them were resolved by mutual consent.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Systematic Incitement Campaigns <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>During the year 2025, Syria witnessed several cases of public incitement and the dissemination of hate speech by a group of male and female journalists, some of whom appeared publicly through the media of the transitional government, causing a state of panic and intimidation among other male and female journalists because they are sometimes accused of treason and threatened at other times.<\/p>\n<p>The association has documented these cases for review and informing everyone of them, including the most prominent ones:<\/p>\n<p><strong>.<\/strong><strong> October 6<sup>th<\/sup> 2025 : <\/strong>The Free Media Association monitored a number of media activists and journalists carrying weapons and inciting against the residents of the Ashrafieh and sheikh Maqsoud neighborhoods in the city of Aleppo, following the military developments witnessed around the two neighborhoods. The media activist\u00a0 Ahmed Hemoush appeared in a video clip carrying a weapon on his waist during the outbreak of clashes. The media and social networking sites reported on the incident indicating that he had violated the ethics of journalistic work which requires staying away from any form of incitement or intimidation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>.<\/strong><strong> October 6<sup>th<\/sup> 2025 :<\/strong> The activist Osama Aliwi published a video clip on his official accounts containing incitement and statements directed against the residents of the Ashrafieh and sheikh Maqsoud neighborhoods in the city of Aleppo. These actions are clear violation of press and\u00a0 media ethics and contributes to inciting tension and stirring up hatred in light of the sensitive conditions that the city of Aleppo is going through.<\/p>\n<p><strong>.<\/strong><strong> February 19<sup>th<\/sup> 2025 :<\/strong>The so-called Jameel Al-Hassen, a journalist activist affiliated with the transitional Authorities in Syria, launched an incitement campaign full of racism against the Alawite component in Syria. This was followed\u00a0 in the months of June and November of the same year by several incitement campaigns against the Syrian Democratic Forces ( SDF) and the Syrian components in general, which is inconsistent with the lowest foundations of professional and ethical journalism.<\/p>\n<p><strong>.<\/strong><strong> November 5<sup>th<\/sup> 2025 :<\/strong> Personal accounts circulated reports in a harmonious way including direct incitement against the journalist Lewend Hussein following his appearance in a program on the Syrian News Channel which expanded later to include the reporters Naz Al-Seid and Ivan Hessieb by means of publishing untruthful claims pushing their names in demonstrations supposed to be against the Syrian Democratic Forces , and raising signs trying to bind the male and female journalists with military assortments in an attempt to mislead the General View, the thing that formed a risky threat to their lives.<\/p>\n<p><strong>. <\/strong>The violations committed the so-called Ahmed Kasar Al-Eisa during the attack on Al-Suwyda city in June 2025 where he incited for hatred and attacking the locals, in addition to the previous statements that were offensive to the Kurdish People and other Syrian components.
