A document issued by the so-called Sweida Supreme Legal Committee, formed by the Druze leader Hikmat al-Hijri, sparked widespread controversy after revealing the formation of a financial committee to collect cash donations from abroad, outside the Syrian banking system.
The document included details of a personal Emirati bank account, with the aim of raising funds for a political organization linked to the "Al-Hijri" militia, which is accused of committing war crimes.
The campaign's promoters also encouraged these donations to be directed toward the purchase of weapons, in clear violation of local and international laws.
According to the document, both "Abu Shadi Anis Salman Farah" and "Tamam Manhal Bou Saad" were authorized to receive and transfer the funds, raising concerns about the route of these funds and the mechanism for their spending, especially given the absence of any official oversight or financial transparency.
