This is despite the many difficulties and the fact that the Syrian authorities  prevent any human rights organization of working on its territories. Many human  rights activists have been arrested or eliminated.<\/p>\n<p>The network periodically reviews and constantly corrects the  names through contacting the families of the martyrs or their relatives or  friends so as to ensure that the list is free from any duplication.<\/p>\n<p>The Syrian Network for Human Rights does not publish any  statistics of whatever scale including daily statistics, without providing the  human rights and the Arab and international media groups with lists of the  names and not just the aggregate numbers. We also add to the name a photograph  and a video of the person that was mentioned on the same day. On the following  days the team continues to seek to obtain pictures or videos of those who do  not have any and once attained, they are directly added to the archive and  attached with the name automatically to maintain accuracy and credibility.<\/p>\n<p>The comprehensive PDF file of the victims of the Syrian  Revolution can be downloaded from this link.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.syrianhr.org\/news\/link.php?M=2170&amp;N=82&amp;L=570&amp;F=H\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.syrianhr.org\/Attach\/SH_31_7_2012.pdf<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>  This PDF file contains all the details, including photos,  videos, and full names.<\/p>\n<p>Syrian citizens killed by the Syrian regime between<br \/>\n  18-03-2011 and 31.07.2012<br \/>\n  Confirmed&nbsp;death&nbsp;toll&nbsp;documented<\/p>\n<p>  <strong>by name: 20148<br \/>\n  Children: 1499, including 317 children under the age of ten  years<br \/>\n  Women: 1417<br \/>\n  Elderly (over sixty): 256<br \/>\n  Killed under torture: 697<br \/>\n  Military personnel:1425<\/strong>, of the Free Syrian Army, pro-regime  military and security forces as well as defectors or soldiers who refused to  shoot and whom SNHR was able to document their names and&nbsp;death&nbsp;using  the military or security IDs which they had when they were killed. It is worth mentioning  that Syrian authorities have not allowed SNHR members to verify the names of  the victims declared by the Syrian authorities as SNHR members have no relations  whatsoever with the Syrian authorities, security apparatus and media outlets  responsible for the figures and information released by the Syrian authorities  and which cannot be verified at the moment.<\/p>\n<p>Distribution of casualties on Syrian governorates is<br \/>\n  available in and documented by the attached file and can be verified by<br \/>\n  referring to this file:<br \/>\n  <strong>Homs: 6105<br \/>\n  Idlib: 3000<br \/>\n  Hama: 2526<br \/>\n  Damascus: 2486<br \/>\n  Dara: 2097<br \/>\n  Aleppo: 1177<br \/>\n  Diralzor: 1133<br \/>\n  Damascus: 664<br \/>\n  Lattakia: 472<br \/>\n  Hasaka: 138<br \/>\n  Arraga: 79<br \/>\n  Konaitira: 73<br \/>\n  Tartous: 72<br \/>\n  Swaida: 21<br \/>\n  Other nationalities: 105<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n  It is noteworthy that there are many cases which could not  be reached and documented, especially in cases of massacres, besieged towns and  the frequent communications black out. Hence, the actual number is likely to be  higher because there are dozens of cases where residents buried the victims in  mass graves to stop the spread of diseases and epidemics, and all of this is due  to the Syrian government preventing any human rights organization to work on  its<br \/>\n  territory.<\/p>\n<p>The Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR) holds Bashar  al-Assad, head of the state and Commander-in-Chief of the Syrian regime army,  accountable for all acts of homicide, torture and massacres perpetrated in  Syria as he holds the primary responsibility for issuing the orders for those  acts. All members of the Syrian regime and heads of security and military apparatus  are considered directly complicit in those acts as well as all those involved  in funding and supporting this regime which continues to perpetrate massacres  against civilians on a daily basis. All such parties shall be responsible for  any public reactions and consequences and implications thereof.<\/p>\n<p>SNHR calls on the UN and the UN Security Council to quickly  take all necessary measures to protect civilians and fulfill their legal and  moral responsibilities by accelerating the referral of all those responsible  for the perpetration of these massacres to the International Criminal Court  (ICC).<\/p>\n<p><u>Syrian Network for Human Rights &#8211; London  <br \/>\n<\/u><\/p>\n<p>SNHR:<\/p>\n<p>Website: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.syrianhr.org\" target=\"_blank\">www.syrianhr.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Email: <a href=\"mailto:press@syrianhr.org\">press@syrianhr.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comprehensive&nbsp;death&nbsp;toll&nbsp;of the Syrian  casualties killed by the Syrian regime since the beginning of the revolution to  the end of July, 31\/07\/2012)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":65,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-800","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dchrs.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/800","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dchrs.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dchrs.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dchrs.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/65"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dchrs.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=800"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dchrs.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/800\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dchrs.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=800"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dchrs.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=800"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dchrs.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=800"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
