The   majority of their residents are hence loyal to the Assad regime. Due to   its concrete support of the Syrian revolution, Assad thugs in the   neighbouring villages, along with security forces loyal to the regime,   repeatedly threatened to destroy Alfan Alshamali village.\u00a0 The Syrian   Network for Human Rights has repeatedly raised warnings concerning   reactions that we, as a small organisation and other humanitarian and   relief organisations, cannot enter Syria and educate the residents   about. We find this important as this will have a negative impact on the   topics of co-existence and transitional justice. <\/p>\n<p>\n<br \/>\n  In the context of an open war on the Syrian people and their towns and   cities, along with squads travelling from one part to another &#8211; all   planned strategically and headed\u00a0 by Bashar Al Assad, the village of   Alfan Alshamali was next on the regime\u2019s list. On Sunday 02.09.2012,   tanks and soldiers loyal to the regime entered the village, where they   began to shell the village violently, leading to the complete   destruction of a number of homes. Many residents were killed whilst they   were in their homes, as a result of the intense shelling. <\/p>\n<p>  As the next stage of the attack, the village was stormed by Assad thugs   and forces, in which they looted and destroyed and burnt shops. The   continued, killing livestock, including cows. This was a planned act of   the regime, and attempt to spread fear and terror amongst the people. A   deterrent was constituted due to the inability of the Syrian Army to   deploy soldiers in all areas. The regime resorts to such policies to   destructively intimidate those opposing it. <\/p>\n<p>  An eyewitness informed us that members of the Assad army grouped a   number of young men of the village in the village\u2019s square, in which   they were openly fired at by Assad forces \u2013 killed in cold blood. <\/p>\n<p>  30 residents of this small village were killed by Assad forces,   consisting of one woman and a number of her children were killed whilst   in their house. <br \/>\n  With the help of the residents of the village, we were able to document   who was killed on that day, in addition to at least 50 injured   civilians. The Assad regime has also taken hold of a number of residents   of the village and now they fall under the missing category. <\/p>\n<p>\n  Below are the numbers, names, Age, the place they were killed in, their   job, social status, number of family members, date of their death.<\/p>\n<p>\n  1-Reyad Alyawi Aljasim, 33, Alfan Alshamali, farmer, married, 3, 04.09.2012<\/p>\n<p>  2-Ahmad Alyawi Aljasim, 35, Alfan Alshamali, farmer, married, 4, 02.09.2012<\/p>\n<p>  3-Wardan Daham Aljasim, 27, Alfan Alshamali, employed, Single, breadwinner, 7, 04.09.2012<\/p>\n<p>  4-Hussein Dahaam Aljasim, 39, Alfan Alshamali, farmer, married, 5, 04.09.2012<\/p>\n<p>  5-Turkeya Mohammad Alhamoud, 41, Alfan Alshamali, Housewife, married, 6, 04.09.2012<\/p>\n<p>  6-Khalid Alyawi Aljasim, 44, Alfan Alshamali, farmer, married, 5, 02.09.2012<\/p>\n<p>  7-Hasaan Ali Alkhleif, 41, Alfan Alshamali, self-employed, married, 6, 02.09.2012<\/p>\n<p>  8-Kan\u2019aan Hasaan Alkhleif, 25, Alfan Alshamali, employed, Single, breadwinner, 6, 02.09.2012<\/p>\n<p>  9-Ali Hasaan Alkhleif, 27, Alfan Alshamali, employed, Single, breadwinner, 6, 02.09.2012<\/p>\n<p>  10-Abdallah Ali Alkhleif, 36, Alfan Alshamali, farmer, married, 6, 02.09.2012<\/p>\n<p>  11-Abdulqahar Ali Alhleif, 33, Alfan Alshamali, self-employed, married, 5, 02.09.2012<\/p>\n<p>  12-Akram Mahmoud AlOmar, 28, Alfan Alshamali, takes care of livestock, single, breadwinner, 02.09.2012<\/p>\n<p>  13-Zakareya Hussein Alhasoun, 26, Alfan Alshamali, self-employed, single, breadwinner, 15, 02.09.2012<\/p>\n<p>  14-Muhammad Khalid Alkhalefa, 25, Alfan Alshamali, farmer, single, breadwinner, 10, 02.09.2012<\/p>\n<p>  15-Nor Alden Obeid Alali, 27, Alfan Alshamali, farmer, single, breadwinner, 6, 02.09.2012<\/p>\n<p>  16-Alaa Ali Alobeid, 28, Alfan Alshamali, self-employed, single, breadwinner, 10, 02.09.2012<\/p>\n<p>  17-Abdulkarem Ali Alobeid, 22, Alfan Alshamali, defected officer, single, breadwinner, 10, 02.09.2012<\/p>\n<p>  18-Hamaam Abdulqadaar Alroush, 24, Alfan Alshamali, farmer, single, breadwinner, 10, 04.09.2012<\/p>\n<p>  19-Hussein Ezo Alroush, 25, Alfan Alshamali, self-employed, single, breadwinner, 11, 04.09.2012<\/p>\n<p>  20-Abdulrazaq Muhammad Alkhleif, 35, Alfan Alshamali, farmer, married, 5, 02.09.2012<\/p>\n<p>  21-Fadi Muhammad Alkhleif, 33, Alfan Alshamali, self-employed, married, 4, 02.09.2012<\/p>\n<p>  22-Ahmad Muhammad Alkhleif, 22, Alfan Alshamali, self-employed, single, breadwinner, 6, 02.09.2012<\/p>\n<p>  23-Ahmad Hussein Al Aloush, 48, Alfan Alshamali, self-employed, married to two, 20, 02.09.2012<\/p>\n<p>  24-Mone\u2019am Abeed Al Ali, 25, Alfan Alshamali, farmer, single, breadwinner, 10, 02.09.2012<\/p>\n<p>  25-Salom Jasim Al Ahmad, 30, Alfan Alqebli, farmer, married, 3, 02.09.2012<\/p>\n<p>  26-Sarhaan Ali Alkhleif, 31, Alfan Alshamali, self -employed, married, 2, 02.09.2012<\/p>\n<p>  27-Nasr Hussein Almaheemeed, 42, Alfan Alshamali, self-employed, married, 15, 02.09.2012<\/p>\n<p>  28-Abdullah Obeid Al Ali, 38, Alfan Alshamali, farmer, married, 5, 02.09.2012<\/p>\n<p>  29-Thaliji Khalaf Alobeid, 42, Alfan Alshamali, farmer, married, 7, 02.09.2012<\/p>\n<p>  30-Hawyan Ne\u2019mat Al Hawyan, 30, employed, married, 2, 04.09.2012<\/p>\n<p>\n  *Attachments:<br \/>\n  Videos and victims:<br \/>\n  The child, Kan\u2019aan Hasaan Alkhleif<br \/>\n  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=xrMbURM8mMg\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=xrMbURM8mMg<\/a><\/p>\n<p>  The child, Ali Hasaan Alkhleif,<br \/>\n  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=xrMbURM8mMg\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=xrMbURM8mMg<\/a><\/p>\n<p>  The victims of Alfan Alshamali massacre <br \/>\n  <a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/xrMbURM8mMg\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/youtu.be\/xrMbURM8mMg<\/a> <br \/>\n  <a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/iZq-RX0lUcY\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/youtu.be\/iZq-RX0lUcY<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>  Sarhaan Alkhleif \u2013 a victim of Alfan Alshamali massacre<br \/>\n  <a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/uds5L035VRQ\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/youtu.be\/uds5L035VRQ<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>  A video showing the dead bodies on the streets<br \/>\n  <a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/DMBsjQNurW\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/youtu.be\/DMBsjQNurW<\/a><\/p>\n<p>  Residents carry the bodies of the victims of the massacre so their funeral procession can be carried out.<br \/>\n  <a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/lhfwjb3Leak\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/youtu.be\/lhfwjb3Leak<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n  We, The Syrian Network of Human rights, seek to protect and defend human   rights.

We hold the Syrian regime, the Commander in Chief of   the Armed forces full and direct responsibility of the massacre. In   addition to this, we also hold Russia, Iran and Hizbullah direct   responsibility of the killing as they continue to provide the Syrian   regime with weapons and money.
