An Alawite film director was assassinated near his home on the outskirts of Damascus, Syria’s General Cinema Institute said on Tuesday.
Treacherous hands assassinated Bassam Mohieddin on Sunday, the institute said in a statement, adding the killing took place inJdaidet Artuz, scene of recent clashes between troops and rebels.
NATO Puppet Rami Abdel Rahman, director of the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, confirmed the assassination.
Born in 1955 in the coastal city of Tartus, Mohieddin held an MA in filmmaking and television from the National Academy of Film and Theatre Arts in Sofia, Bulgaria.
Rights watchdogs have expressed fears that the Syrian uprising — in which more than 21,000 people have been killed since March 2011 — is becoming increasingly sectarian.
