In Cold Blood: Human Rights Watch Reports on Executions in Syria
This is Human Rights Watch's attempt to document, in detail, the executions that have been going on in Syria. They have based their outline and summarization of the executions on 30 interviews with those in Syria. They are only reporting verifiable accounts but the number of actual executions in the country is higher. 3 of the executions have eyewitness or video accounts. The regime has no boundaries and is murdering opposition fighters, dissenting fighters, men, women, and children. These murders come in all shapes and sizes. Sometimes shoulders round up men in a neighborhood and execute them while other times the military simply opens fire on neighborhoods, no one is safe.
This is another glimpse into the state of this country that the Assad regime is trying, and failing to hide. These first hand accounts show the brutality and the indifference of the regime. While many newspapers can easily report and sell papers by revealing the brutality of Assad, I think this is a very good source to learn about it because of its neutrality and its use of first hand sources.
