Please read the release here<\/a><\/p>\n

The Syrian regime continues to perpetrate more crimes, including crimes against humanity, genocides, and systematic war crimes, amid an utter international silence. The Syrian regime has used its warplanes to target IDPs gatherings that were staying in different schools in Der Ezzor.<\/p>\n

The Syrian regime perpetrated a massacre in Der Ezzor province targeting civilians. Der Ezzor province is controlled by ISIS or IS (Islamic State), and the Syrian regime didn’t target this IS militias, instead Syrian forces targeted the innocent civilians who are suffering from the siege imposed by IS.<\/p>\n

On September 7, 2014 at about 10:00 PM, the Syrian regime MiG warplanes targeted a civilians gathering near a market in Der Ezzor suburb \u2013 Al-Mayadien city. This airstrike was in conjunction with another massacre. The other massacre occurred after an airstrike targeted a school, where IDPs from Ash-Sh’ytat villages were staying, to kill 22 Syrians at least; most of whom were displaced women and children.<\/p>\n

DCHRS activists noted that the wounded were transferred to the field-hospitals that became overwhelmed with wounded people. Furthermore, the airstrike destroyed the school partially.<\/p>\n

Shortly after, one civilian was killed by another airstrike that targeted Al-Kharita village in Der Ezzor suburb on the same day. There were no military targets for these airstrikes and that indicates how civilians were targeted deliberately and directly by the Syrian regime.<\/p>\n

We, as a Human Rights NGO, condemn this blatant and explicit violation of the relevant international laws and covenants. These continuous attacks on civil and areas by the Syrian regime are serious desecrations of the International Humanitarian Law. The International Community should address these violations and improve its “responsibility to protect” policy.<\/p>\n

DCHRS urges the concerned human rights groups to take immediate action in order to stop these explicit continuous violations of the international covenants which state that schools and displaced shelters are to be protected during armed conflicts.<\/p>\n
