Report for Friday, July 06, 2012:
Friday of the
People’s War of Liberation
Today, with anger, concern, and condemnation, we received
reports of continued killings, torture, horrific massacres, arbitrary
detentions, abductions, and forced displacements in another Friday by Assad
militias of army, security, and Shabbiha forces, in addition to committing
systematic and widespread violations of human rights against Syrian
citizens. These violations are a
flagrant deprivation of the Syrian people’s right to life, freedom of
expression, peaceful demonstrating, while being subjected to arbitrary arrest,
torture, rape, forced displacement, and systemic destruction of some cities and
neighborhoods. In addition to destroying and burning homes, forests, and crops
to express barbarism, brutality, and extreme violence through shelling using
artillery, heavy weapons, and helicopters to face the peaceful protests.
The number of those killed on Friday, July 06, 2012, by
Assad forces reached more than 98, among them 7 women and 5 children, 31 in
Damascus Suburbs, 15 in Idlib, 12 in Homs, 12 in Aleppo, 11 in Daraa, 7 in Deir
EzZor, 6 in Hama, and 4 in Damascus, not to mention tens of injured civilians,

We, in the Human Right Bureau of the Syrian National Council,
extend our deepest condolences to the families of the fallen heroes, wishes for
the speedy recovery of those wounded, and wishes for the release of the
detained. We strongly condemn and denounce the behavior of the Assad regime in
carrying out the violence, killing, massacres, and crimes against humanity, in
addition to the arbitrary arrests, systemic torture, rape, forced displacement,
and kidnappings in facing the peaceful protests and legitimate demands of the
Syrian people who are expressing their desire for freedom and their legitimate
rights in toppling the criminal regime that has been stripped of its
legitimacy. We turn to human rights organizations, the Arab League, the Friends
of Syria, the UN Security Council, and the Conference of the Friends of Syria
taking place in Paris today, and plead with them and the rest of the free world
to work immediately by pressuring the Assad regime for the purpose of achieving
the following:
- Immediately stop the violence and killing, and the
shedding of Syria blood
- Form an international investigation committee to
investigate the regime’s crimes and refer the criminals to the International
Criminal Court and a special committee specialized in crimes of torture, rape,
and forced disappearance
- Return the army to its bases and pull it from the cities
and towns
- Force the regime to permit human rights organizations and
international media outlets to enter the country
- Provide the disaster-stricken cities and the displaced
people inside and abroad with humanitarian relief and necessities
- Close the political detention file and release all
political detainees, prisoners of conscience, and all those who have been
arrested for partaking in peaceful gatherings, which took place all over Syria
- Immediately disclose the fate of those who are missing
- Ensure human rights and basic freedoms, take effective
measures to protect the right to life and freedom of expression, and ensure the
right of peaceful protest
- Stop security forces and Shabiha from interfering in the lives
of citizens, abolish all illegal detention centers, ensure the rights of
prisoners, and stop practicing all forms of physical and psychological torture
against prisoners
- Force the Syrian regime to guarantee for all Syrians their
right to peaceful assembly and free expression of their legitimate and just
demands to transition from a tyrant to a democratic state
- Support plans and projects that aim to manage the
transition in Syria, allocate resources to support reconstruction and
development projects, and intensify training projects and workshops that aim to
train Syrian political leaders to practice the democratic process and help them
incorporate the concepts and principles of transitional justice into the
politics in the future Syria
- Declare the failure of the UN monitors mission and
Arab-International Kofi Annan plan, because of the regime’s lack of commitment;
respond to the lack of commitment to the initiative by issuing more powerful
and effective decisions along with clearer and more time-bound executive
mechanisms pursuant to Chapter VII of the UN Charter to help the people in
protecting civilians and ousting the regime by imposing a no-fly zone and
establishing safe areas and buffers, and move to action rather than words in
supporting the Free Syrian Army; seriously lobby with each of Iran, Russia, and
China to take a more neutral position and stop its support of the criminal
regime; move quickly to cover humanitarian needs of the Syrian people; aid and
life the siege off the disaster stricken cities; expel all the regime’s
diplomats and ambassadors and sever all diplomatic relations with the regime.
We also demand that the UN Security Council immediately
adopts and implements the Human Rights Council’s latest decision regarding
referring the file of the regime’s officials responsible for committing the
crimes against humanity to the International Criminal Court and compelling the
regime to accept that an international investigation committee investigates the
massacres. We also plead with nations to which Syrians were forced to migrate
to treat the Syrian people in a humane and decent manner worthy of humans who
deserve freedom and dignity.
Furthermore, we invite the international community to assist those
countries which are hosting Syrian refugees.
It should be noted that Jordan has been witnessing in the last few days
a large influx of Syrian refugees, the majority of whom are being either to
arrested or fired at by Assad militants. Meanwhile, the number of those who do
make it into Jordan far exceed the means of their host country.
