Introduction:<\/u><\/strong>
\n Syrian Government and its representatives do not stop their allegation that they are fighting terrorism and AL-Qaeda, but those allegation easily collapse when we talk about the systematic violations against civil society leaders, media activists, and popular movements’ leaders; the most prominent of them are university students who have been arrested, tortured to death, and expelled from university, they form the vast majority of detainees, it explains why undemocratic voices have arisen and spread recently, as the Syrian Regime planned by arresting and killing the real leaders of Syrian Popular Movement.
\n At the beginning we have to refer to strategic and active role played by university students in Syrian Popular Movement, where they participated in demonstrations, most of media activists, paramedics and physicians are university students, and because of their activities and attitudes Syrian regime focused on them, where according to our estimations at least 35.000 students (male and female) have been arrested in Syrian Regime’s Prisons.
\n When the struggle against Syrian Regime turned into an armed struggle, hundreds of them turned into fighters in Free Syrian Army and killed in battles.
\n Government Forces suppressed the revolutionary movement and pursued university students’ activists across the so-called "National Union of Syrian Students", which is an institution of Al-Baath party supervised by Ammar Saati, and includes university students have been recruited as informants in spite of security forces’ elements and Shabiha who are not university students but their mission is to watch, suppress, and penetrate activists’ ranks.
\n There are also few professor have been recruited to spy on the students, they played basic role in suppressing the students, by taking photos for the students and giving them to security branches and National Union of Syrian Students, where it led to arrest them and expelled them from universities.
\n In contrast, there were many honorable professors, who stood by the students in the revolutionary movement, defended on them, and exposed themselves to be beaten, humiliated and expulsion from university.
\nSeveral committees and coordinations have been formed to organize the revolutionary role of university students and document the daily violations against them and follow their affairs after expulsions from universities, most prominent is Union of Free Syrian Students, in addition to another groupings and formations, who made great effort to protect and care the students outside and outside Syria. <\/p>\n

The Report:  <\/u><\/strong>
\n Violations against university students focus in 6 main points:
\n First: unlawful killings
\n Second: Detention and torturing to death
\n Third: expulsions from universities.
\n Fourth: break into the campus and arrest demonstrators’ students inside.
\n Fifth: Destroy university buildings and turn some headquarters to military barracks.

\n ===================================
\n Details:<\/u><\/strong>

\n ===================================
\n Second: Detention and torturing to death:<\/em><\/strong>
\n SNHR estimated number of university students that have been arrested from various governorates with more than 35000 detainees, including 4000 female student. Have been exposed to different types of tortures that we documented in many reports of killing under torture, at least 98 student tortured to death.
\n Many female student have been tortured and raped inside prisons.
\n Syrian Network for Human Rights indicate that arresting and torturing were systematic and widespread operations which targeted different universities in the Syrian Governorate, that indicates that it is central decision and we will provide you with examples in all Syrian governorates.
\n ===================================
\n Third: expulsions from universities.<\/em><\/strong>
\n Cause of their participation in revolutionary movement and organizing demonstrations and communicating with media agencies, human rights organizations or relief work, Syrian government arrested thousands of university students whether inside university or in their way back to home and villages, and expulsed them from universities.
\n Leaked documents of National Union of Syrian Students condemn Syrian Government; it shows request prepared by Albaath Party branch in university and offered to University President to expel students for their participation in demonstrations took place inside universities.

\n ===================================
\n Fourth: break into the campus and arrest demonstrators’ students inside.<\/em><\/strong>
\n Government forces ruthlessly, systematically and widely suppress university students in all of the Syrian Governorate, which indicate that this is central decision, we will provide examples from all the governorate especially Aleppo University that tops all Syrian Universities with its outstanding students’ mobility.
\n We would like to indicate that the intensive existence to intelligence elements and Shabiha inside the campus to restrict the freedom of the students and monitor their actions and words carefully and strictly.
\n Samar female student in Aleppo University, she told us on the events of 15 and 16 January 2012
\n "Intensive existence of security and Shabiha, they had lists for wanted students, each students enter the university they take his identity and compare with their lists"
\n "The next day students demonstrated condemning the terrible acts of security forces and Shabiha, after a while dozens of Shabiha and security forces broke into University City, they beat many students especially in buildings 11 and 12, then they evacuate buildings 16,18,19 allocated for female students, I got news about rapes happened there, dozens of students got hurts and so many arrested, many students transferred to emergency they were suffering from critical injuries and fractures, after that university management issued an expulsion decree of large number of students cause of these demonstrations." 
\n SNHR recorded many cases where supervisors and professors contributed in intelligence operations, and in suppressing and insulting university students
\n As an example of that: Professor Jamal Hamdosh: head of Mathematics Department in Aleppo College of Science contributed in raising intelligence reports on the students, he also assaulted female student with his hand in front of hundreds of eyewitnesses in 19\/1\/2012, Syrian government doesn’t only recruit Shabiha and security forces, but also teaching stuff as well.
\n ==============================
\n Fifth: Destroy university buildings and turn some headquarters to military barracks.<\/em><\/strong>
\n Government forces committed wide sabotage operation during random shelling and even deliberate shelling as shelling Aleppo University building by missiles, shelling faculty of architectural in Damascus, and during raids of many universities where anti-government demonstrations happened. 
\n Basel a dental student from Aleppo University told us how security forces and Shabiha brutally broke and sabotage the university.
\n "When the demonstration ended, students flee from security forces and Shabiha into the campus, they caught on of our colleague and brutally attacked him, so we made a site-inside the faculty and wore our medical gowns, and started exclaim: we want the detainees, they got crazy and tried to raid the building, but they couldn’t cause the door was closed, so they broke the windows and came in from another door, they randomly smashed the contents of the building, arrested another student inside faculty of Medicine and brutally and en masse beat him"
\n Some universities also turned into military barracks contain tanks, armored vehicles, soldiers and Shabiha
\n As an example Faculty of petrochemical engineering in Homs University:
\n The following video from inside the faculty:       <\/p>\n

\n Video shows sabotage of anatomy laboratory of Dentistry Faculty in Aleppo University:
\n https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=COuM8xkL2u8&feature=youtu.be<\/a>
\n ===================================
\n Sixth: exploit university students in pro-government marches and suspend their lectures.<\/em><\/strong>
\n Government forces forced university students to go in marches pro to Bashar Alassad and put his photos, and threatened them with expulsion, arrest and torture.
\n Samer: a student in University of Aleppo told us how government forces and Shabiha raided his room inside university housing and took him with thousands of his colleagues to march pro to Bashar Alassad.
\n "I was studding in my room in university housing, we knew a day before that Syrian Government want to organize march to support President Bashar, but I didn’t want to go, I have examination the next day, although I heard a noise inside the building I kept studding, suddenly after almost 20 minutes the door knocked out violently, when I opened I saw soldiers of Army filling corridors and searching rooms one by one, they started insulting and cursing me because I was late, when I told them that  I was studding , they beat me and cursed me, and took us by force to the march square".

\n ===================================
\n Legal Conclusions:<\/u><\/strong>
\n International Human Rights law strictly prohibited Right Not to be Arbitrarily Deprived of Life; that’s mean restrict the governmental authorities from arbitrary execution : "the killing of a person perpetrated by an agent of the state or any other person acting under Government authority"<\/strong>
\n International Humanitarian Law prohibited direct attack against civilians in both international and non-international armed conflicts, these violations subject to prosecution according to IHL and including International Criminal Court.
\n The willful attacking on civilian buildings devoted to religious, education, art, science, or charitable purposes, and historic monuments, is considered a war crime according to the Rome Statute.
\n Torture during armed conflict is a violation of international humanitarian law as a violation of international criminal law. Do not allow limitations on the prohibition of torture. International humanitarian law and frankly prohibits torture and cruel treatment of people who are not taking part in hostilities.<\/p>\n

Rape is a war crime according to the Rome Statute, as well as could constitute a crime against humanity if it is part of a widespread or systematic attack on a civilian population.
\n Article 9 of International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights prohibited arbitrary arrest or detention:" No one shall be subjected to arbitrary arrest or detention. No one shall be deprived of his liberty except on such grounds and in accordance with such procedure as are established by law”
\n "Anyone arrested or detained on a criminal charge shall be brought promptly before a judge or other officer authorized by law to exercise judicial power and shall be entitled to trial within a reasonable time or to release. It shall not be the general rule that persons awaiting trial shall be detained in custody, but release may be subject to guarantees to appear for trial, at any other stage of the judicial proceedings, and, should occasion arise, for execution of the judgment".
\n "Anyone who is deprived of his liberty by arrest or detention shall be entitled to take proceedings before a court, in order that that court may decide without delay on the lawfulness of his detention and order his release if the detention is not lawful"
\n "Imprisonment or severe deprivation of physical liberty in violation of of fundamental rules of international law" and the practice of enforced disappearances per se, as crime against humanity: when committed as part of a widespread or systematic attack directed against any civilian population, with knowledge of the attack \u00bb.
\n Based on the forgoing we conclude with no doubt that Government Forces and Shabiha committed widespread and systematic attack in all of the Syrian Governorates various crimes against university students such as unlawful killings and killings under torture, arbitrary arrest, enforced disappearance, which considered as crimes against humanity,
\n They also practiced looting, sabotage and turning university buildings into military barracks, which considered as a various types of war crimes committed under a non-international armed conflict.
\n The size and nature of the attacks on universities in different governorates, and the excessive force used constantly, in addition to coordinated nature of the attacks, led to fully convince that it was pursuant to the policy of the state.<\/p>\n
