New Syrian Prime Minister says all religious groups' rights 'guaranteed'

Syria's new Prime Minister said the transition government led by the Islamist group HTS will guarantee the rights of all religious groups and called on the millions who fled the war to return home.

"Precisely because we are Islamic, we will guarantee the rights of all people and all sects in Syria," transition Prime Minister Mohammad al-Bashir, told Italian daily Corriere della Sera. 

Asked whether Syria's new constitution would be Islamic, he said "we will clarify all these details during the constituent process".
