A documentation of the Syrian regime’s violations of human rights in various Syrian provinces on the 18th of September, 2012

 

*Deaths and Injuries*

 

Alqadam, Damascus 

Summary executions continue to this day. Civilians are detained then tortured then executed.  The bodies often carry mutilation marks. Here is a video showing the bodies of two young men which clearly show traces of torture. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6Frc2T70UE

 

Alasali, Damascus 

Snipers pose a threat to the lives of civilians. Today, Firas Saad Eddin was killed by sniper fire.

Like in other cities, Talkalakh suffers from a big presence of snipers that fire at any moving object. Hassan Kolko was killed by sniper fire earlier today.

*Suffering and violations*

 

Talbesah, Homs

Hospitals suffer in Homs from a significant lack of tools and medical supplies due to the blockade imposed by the Syrian army for nearly hundred days. Here a wounded child is writhing in pain because of the lack of pain killers.

Zardana, Idlib

This video shows the modest and makeshift hospitals in Idlib. Civilians often convert homes and mosques into field hospitals whose conditions do not meet the needs of the injured. In addition, medical staff are constantly being targeted.

*Shelling and Destruction*

 

Alhajar Alaswad, Damascus: 

Destruction has spread all throughout Alhajar Alaswad after it was shelled by heavy weapons and warplanes. Alhajar Alaswad is one of the districts that has been subject to the fiercest shelling.
