The network stresses the importance of archiving all the   information it receives from inside Syria through its activists.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The three main standards for the network\u2019s documentations:\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>The   Syrian Network for Human Rights does not publish any statistics\u00a0   without sending all parities an attachments that contains extremely   accurate and detailed information. Therefore, international   organizations and committees have considered this network to be their   main and most reliable source of information.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>The   Syrian Network for Human Rights specializes in documenting civilian   casualties only. The network does not document casualties from armed   parties due to the difficulties that are associated with such a task.   The network finds difficulties especially with the Syrian Army and   intelligence because of the government\u2019s refusal to grant the network a   license. In addition, many of the network\u2019s activists are arrested by   regime forces. In very rare cases, the network documented casualties   deaths from the Free Syrian Army by contacting the families and friends   of the victims.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>The   also network documents the massacres that are committed by the Syrian   Army and Shabiha gangs. This task is the most complicated and most   difficult task that the network carries out with accuracy. Consequently,   however, the network is able to publish an accurate statistic of the   total death toll.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The death toll of September 2012: 4631<\/p>\n<p>Victims are documented by name and video. There are no repeated names.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Children: 333<\/p>\n<p> Females: 81<\/p>\n<p> Males: 252<\/p>\n<p>Women: 391<\/p>\n<p>Under torture: 78<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The following link is for a PDF that contains all the details and information with o repeated names.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.syrianhr.org\/Attach\/Sep.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.syrianhr.org\/Attach\/Sep.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The casualties were spread as such:\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Aleppo: 1060<\/p>\n<p>Damascus\u2019 countryside: 1014<\/p>\n<p>Damascus: 583<\/p>\n<p>Dier Alzoor: 491<\/p>\n<p>Daraa: 365<\/p>\n<p>Idlib: 338<\/p>\n<p>Homs: 292<\/p>\n<p>Hama: 283<\/p>\n<p>Latakia: 63<\/p>\n<p>Alraqqah: 36<\/p>\n<p>Alqunayterah: 29<\/p>\n<p>Alhasakah: 15<\/p>\n<p>Alsuwayda: 11<\/p>\n<p>Tartus: 3<\/p>\n<p>Victims with non-Syrian citizenships (most of whom are Palestinian): 13<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When the victims of September are added to the victims since 18\/3\/2012, the total death toll reaches: 30541<\/p>\n<p>The following link contains all the details:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.syrianhr.org\/Attach\/ALL_to_09_2012.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.syrianhr.org\/Attach\/ALL_to_09_2012.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Total deaths: 30541<\/p>\n<p>Children: 2155<\/p>\n<p> Females: 639 <\/p>\n<p> Males: 1516<\/p>\n<p>Women: 2310<\/p>\n<p>Under torture: 884<\/p>\n<p>Military personnel (most are from the FSA): 1575<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>*Important   note: In official wars, it is expected that women and children makeup   no more than 2% of the death toll. However, in the case of the Syrian   regime, the network calculated:\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>8.3% of the victims in Syria are women and children<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p> This   means that the Syrian regime exceeded 4x the expected 2%. This   phenomenon testifies to the Syrian regime\u2019s systematic shelling and   killing of civilians. The civilians of Syria have every right to be   protected by the international community and human rights organizations.   However, no bit of protection has reached the Syrian people nor did the   killing stop for a moment.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The casualties are spread as such:\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Homs: 6877<\/p>\n<p>Rural Damascus: 5255<\/p>\n<p>Idlib: 3960<\/p>\n<p>Aleppo: 3219<\/p>\n<p>Hama: 3066<\/p>\n<p>Daraa: 3054<\/p>\n<p>Dier Alzoor: 2035<\/p>\n<p>Damascus: 1731<\/p>\n<p>Latakia: 596<\/p>\n<p>Alqunayterah: 204<\/p>\n<p>Alhasakah: 164<\/p>\n<p>Alraqqah: 130<\/p>\n<p>Tartus: 77<\/p>\n<p>Alsuwayda? 33<\/p>\n<p>Victims with non-Syrian citizenship&#8217;s and journalists (Arab and foreign): 170<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p> We   note that there are many cases where the Syrian Network for Human   rights was not able to document deaths. The cases include, massacres,   sieges, and cut-off communication. Thus, the death toll is possibly much   higher than what was documented. For there are many cases where   residents bury their dead, before we can reach them, in mass graves in   order to avoid the spread of diseases.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p> We,   in the Syrian Network for Human Rights, hold the Syrian head of state   and commander-and-chief of the armed forces, Bashar Alassad, fully   responsible for the massacres, killings, and torture in Syria. We also   consider the regime\u2019s pillars and the leaders of the security forces and   military, partners in crime. In the same context, we consider the   Iranian government to be another partner in crime, in addition to all   other supporters of the Syrian regime. All the mentioned parties bear   responsibility for all consequences and reactions that come from the   Syrian people. We also demand that the Security Council and the UN take   swift action and make decisions in order to protect the civilians in   Syria. We call upon the UN and the Security Council to live up to their   claimed moral and legal responsibilities and to work towards bringing   those responsible for crimes in Syria to the International Criminal   Court.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<br \/>\n  Syrian Network for Human Rights &#8211; London<br \/>\n  Website: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.syrianhr.org\" target=\"_blank\">www.syrianhr.org<\/a><br \/>\n  Email: <a href=\"mailto:press@syrianhr.org\" target=\"_blank\">press@syrianhr.org<\/a><br \/>\nSkype: Syrianhr<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The code of the Syrian Network for Human Rights: <\/p>\n<p>The   Syrian Network for Human Rights possesses complete and full archives of   the victims.
