*The date of the incident: 19.09.2012<\/p>\n
On the morning of Wednesday 19.09.2012, the people of Al Arb\u2019een neighbourhood in the city of Hama were awakened with intense shelling of tanks and armoured vehicles – all stationed at Alvilat roundabout, in the northern area of the city of Hama. The shelling was followed by the storming of dozens of tanks, armoured vehicles and troop carries. They began to randomly open fire in a violent manner. Machine guns, with a calibre of 15.5 were used to spread terror and fear. Tanks went on to surrounding and blockading the neighbourhood, in which they blocked all accesses – prohibiting anyone from entering or exiting the neighbourhood, whilst all forms of communications were also cut.<\/p>\n
However, Al Arb\u2019een was viciously targeted with a number of mortars shells by Assad forces. The intense shelling continued for several more hours which resulted to deaths and injuries. Assad forces launched raids and arrests, arresting young men of the neighbourhood, and then executing 7 of them. They continued to do what is worse; the essence of human life in the 21st century is blatantly being abused – all these crimes are being committed against the Syrian people before the eyes of civil societies and human organisations in all parts of the world. Assad forces grouped bodies in a house, where they set fire to the house, whilst people\u2019s bodies were inside.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We, the Syrian Network for Human Rights, find it necessary to point to something very important, as it is repeated constantly throughout the cities, towns and villages of Syria and brings disgrace and shame on the largest human rights organisations worldwide; Syrian Red Crescent crews in the city of Hama made their way to the neighbourhood to retrieve and treat injured civilians. However, Assad forces responded with live ammunition which resulted to their retreat. This is the reason why Assad forces were able to wound many, as well as kill many others.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
