This  indicates that the actual death toll could potentially stand at a higher figure  as there are dozens of cases in which residents buried the bodies in mass  graves to prevent the spread of diseases. This complicated situation is  attributed to the official ban by the Syrian government preventing any human  rights organization from working on its territories<span dir=\"rtl\"> <\/span><span dir=\"rtl\"> <\/span><span dir=\"rtl\"><span dir=\"rtl\"> <\/span><span dir=\"rtl\"> <\/span>.<\/span><br \/>\n  SNHR holds the Syrian President Commander in Chief of the  Syrian army, Bashar al-Assad, responsible for all acts of homicide, torture and  massacres perpetrated in Syria as he holds the primary responsibility for  giving the orders for these acts. SNHR considers all Syrian regime members and  heads of the security and military bodies directly complicity in those acts. By  the same token, SNHR considers the Iranian government and Hezbullah as direct  partners in the acts of homicide who shall legally and judicially liable for  those acts along with all those funding and supporting the Syrian regime which  is systematically committing massacres on a daily basis.

By failing to do so, they shall be  considered responsible, to a large extent, for the death of civilians along  with the Syrian regime.
