North Press could not independently verify these claims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The case also prompted criticism after remarks attributed to a judge suggested that the father and uncle \u201cwere trying to discipline her,\u201d comments widely viewed as provocative by local residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Activists in Daraa said the forensic examiner confirmed signs of sexual assault after the body was recovered, adding that the girl was reburied on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, the Internal Security Command in Daraa announced it had uncovered the circumstances surrounding the killing following an investigation launched immediately after the girl\u2019s disappearance was reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a statement published on the governorate\u2019s official social media pages, the command said the Internal Security Directorate in the city of Nawa carried out extensive search and investigative operations that led to the discovery of the girl\u2019s body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The statement added that the forensic examiner concluded the cause of death was internal bleeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Authorities said investigators identified the main suspect through collected evidence and arrested a man identified only by his initials (M.D.). He was referred to the competent judicial authorities to complete the investigation and legal proceedings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">By Atoun Jan<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) \u2013 Syrian security forces on Friday found the body of 12-year-old Noor al-Dous several days after she was reported missing in the countryside of Daraa, in a case that has sparked widespread public outrage in southern Syria.
