SNHR: Death Toll in May 2013
Prepared by Syrian Network for Human Rights
The Highest rate of women killed in this month: 303 women, an average of 10 women a day.
The Syrian government’s Armed Forces through the daily shelling, raids, massacres, and torture of detainees to death, in addition to the causalities of armed rebels through clashes, killed 3,379 civilians including 134 people who were tortured to death.
3,379 people were killed, an average of 109 people a day, 5 people an hour.
Among the 3,379 killed: 2,663 civilians, 716 armed rebels.
Among the 2663 civilians SNHR documented:
1- 368 child-victims with an average of 13 children a day. The proportion of the children killed relative to the death toll is 16%, a very high rate and strict evidence that the Syrian Government’s Armed Forces targets civilians.
2- 303 female victims. The proportion of female victims is 11%, also a very high rate and strict evidence that the Syrian Government’s Armed Forces targets civilians.
3- 134 tortured to death, an average of 5 people a day tortured to death in official or unofficial detention centers.
4- 7 people killed by shelling with poisonous gases on their residential areas, all of them in the Damascus countryside:
4-1- Three civilians in Harasta 27-5-2013
4-2- Two in Doma 26-5-2013
4-3- Two in Adra 23-5-2013
An ethnic cleansing massacre also occurred in Baniyas town and in Tartous city.
SNHR documented in Albaiyda village/Baniyas: 265 victims, including 42 children , 28 women on 2-5-2013;
SNHR documented in the Ras Alnabaa neighborhood/Baniyas: 198 victims, including 63 children, 43 women on 4-5-2013
SNHR would like to indicate that this is what we could document from our deployed members in all of the Syrian provinces, classified by names, date, place, and photo or video.
We couldn’t document many cases involving massacres and killing for many reasons, including procedures that are repeatedly and systematically brought about by the Syrian Government’s Armed Forces such as communications disconnection and blockading areas for many days. This means the actual numbers are likely higher than the ones provided. Not to mention, the Syrian government has prevented human rights organizations from performing their duty in its territory
Total numbers of victims dispersed all across provinces of Syria is as follows:
Damascus and countryside: 744
Homs: 597
Aleppo: 531
Tartous: 411
Hama: 267
Daraa: 252
Idlib: 219
Deir Alzour:129
Raqqa: 77
Lattakia: 75
Qunaitra: 44
Hasaka: 30
Swidaa: 3
It should be mentioned that the work mechanism of the Syrian Network for Human Rights’ Group bases its statistics on precise verification and our documentation method, and on our members who are deployed in the Syrian territory to gather facts and take written testimonies, live images and videos, oral and registered interviews, and audio and video interviews so as to complement the efforts exerted to document human rights violations under the restrictions imposed by the Syrian government on the network members or any other Human Rights organization to work on Syrian territory. The real number may exceed in the dozens, especially with massacres, where the Syrian government imposes blockage and cuts communications.
Legal conclusions
1- SNHR is assured that the Syrian Government’s Armed Groups and Shabiha violated Previsions of Human Rights International Law, which protect the right of life, along with dozens of cases considered as a war crimes (murder cases)
Undoubted Evidence through hundreds of eyewitness stories, that more than 90% of the expanded and individual attacks directed against civilians, all contrary to the Syrian Government’s claims that they are fighting Al-Qaeda and terrorists
2- SNHR also indicates that the documented events are crimes against humanity, where the conditions of widespread and systematic direct attacks against civilian population groups in most cases of murder, has been achieved
Condemnation and Responsibilities:
Responsibility of states for internationally wrongful acts, similarly Customary IHL provides that the state is responsible for all acts committed by the members of its military and security forces, thus the states is responsible of wrongful acts committed by its military and security forces including crimes against humanity.
SNHR holds the Syrian President Commander in Chief of the Syrian army, Bashar al-Assad, responsible for all acts of homicide, torture and massacres perpetrated in Syria as he holds the primary responsibility for giving the orders for these acts. SNHR considers all Syrian regime members and heads of the security and military bodies directly complicity in those acts. Similarly, SNHR considers the Iranian government and Hezbollah as direct partners in the acts of homicide, who shall legally and judicially be held liable for those acts along with all those funding and supporting the Syrian regime, which is systematically committing massacres on a daily basis. SNHR holds all the above mentioned parties responsible for all consequences and potential reactions from the Syrian people in general and the families of the victims in particular.
Recommendations:
Human right council:
1- Call upon the Security Council and relevant organizations to take upon their responsibility towards what is happening to the Syrian children, who is affected by momentary nonstop killing.
2- Exert pressure on the Syrian government to stop the random and deliberate shelling of civilians.
3- Hold the allies and supporter of the Syrian government: Russia, Iran, and China, morally and physically responsible to the killing in Syria.
4- Serious attention of the disastrous situation, and to give it a high priority, and try to take care of victims’ children and their families.
Security Council:
1- Decide to refer all the criminals and the involved to the ICC.
2- Warn the Syrian Government of the repercussions of using brutal methods under the systematic killing and send clear messages about it.
Arab League:
1- Demand the Human Rights Council and United Nations to give this serious issue the right attention and to follow up with its developments.
2- Political and diplomatic pressure on the Syrian Government Troops’ main allies – Russia, Iran, and China – to prevent them from continuously providing cover and international and political protection for all the crimes committed against the Syrian people and hold them morally and physically responsible for all the excesses of the Syrian Government Troops.
SNHR: Human Rights’ violations in Syria (figures and facts)
March 2011 to May 2013
Report prepared by Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR )
Introduction:
Based on the efforts of its investigation and documentation team, the Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR) consistently documented human rights violations in Syria according to the international standards generally recognized in the description. Verification and investigation of all human rights violations in Syria was conducted by a team of unique independent human rights activists with no political or ideological trend. Their main job is to document human rights violations in Syria based on the testimonies of victims of such violations or eyewitnesses; relatives of the victims themselves or people existing at the time and place of the violation. In many cases, they depend on the testimonies of medical staff in various areas of Syria who are continuously witnessing the horrible and terrifying human rights violations in Syria.
It should be mentioned that the work mechanism of Syrian Network for Human Rights’ Group is based on a precise verification and documentation method, and on our members deployed in the Syrian territory to gather facts and record written testimonies, live images and videos, oral and registered interviews audio and video interviews so as to complement the efforts exerted to document human rights violations under the restrictions imposed by the Syrian government on the network members as well as the arrest and assassination of any of them if direct or indirect relation with the network was recognized. This reflects on serious and frequent losses of the network’s activists while doing their duty in Syrian territory.
SNHR documentation policy depends on documents being named from at least two different sources unconnected with each other, and does not issue any statistic without supported files containing very precise details of each death case, fully identified by the name of the victim, as well as the date and location of death.
By these standards, SNHR has been adopted as one of the most important resources in UN statistics for the victims of the Syrian conflicts, and in its famous statistics at the beginning of this year, which stated the killing of 60.000 Syrian citizens, as well as adopted as the main source for many news agencies and space stations
SNHR documented civilian casualties in addition to free army victims as a result of the possibility to apply the network’s criteria in documentation and verification, this criteria can’t be applied to Syrian Government’s Armed Forces kills because of the prosecution, ban and restrictions on such documentation.
Since the first moment of the Popular Syrian Revolution against the rule of Bashar Al-Assad, Syrian Security Forces and Syrian Government’s Armed Forces accompanied with Shabiha handled the civilian protestors with excessive violence, arrested hundreds and killed dozens of them. Not a day goes by without documenting the death of civilian victims or the arrest of female or male activists. They have even killed a large number of them.
Since the early days of the revolution, Syrian government’s Armed forces used different kinds of weapons against the Syrian people. They used live bullets, after a while the Syrian army came down to the cities and towns and started to shell it using tanks, then they used air forces: helicopters. Then warplanes, Scud missiles and unguided weapons such as mortars, TNT, which was dropped by warplanes, along with the use of international prohibited poisonous gases in 14 cites.
This was a deliberate gradual escalation by the Syrian government to monitor the reaction of the international community and Security Council. This led to an increase in the level of escalation and the international silence on the crimes committed by them.

Report’s Details :
Since Syria’s uprising began in March 2011 as to May 15, 2013, SNHR documented at least the killing of 80,159 people, distributed to 75,992 civilians (91% civilian victims), 7,606 Syrian Free Army (9% fighter brigades), Among the civilians: 7,686 women, 8,329 children, and 2,441 tortured to death.

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B9Bj18tlYYKBekZfYlBJQXRadDA/edit?usp=sharing
As a reference, this is what we were able to document by name, location, photo, and video within the available possibilities under the embargo and censorship imposed by the Syrian Government, although our estimation suggests that the real number of victims could reach twice, up to nearly a quarter million.
In Syria, a civilian is killed by Syrian Government’s Armed Troops every eight hours, with a daily average of 135 civilians
Every two hours a child is killed
Every three hours a woman is killed

Fifth : tortured to death victims
Syrian Government’s Armed Troops arrested at least 194,000 Syrian citizens, including nearly 9,000 under the age of 18, 4,500 women ( 1200 of them are female colleague students) and 35,000 male colleague students, according to the last survey conducted by Syrian Network for Human Rights.
70,000 of the detainees are enforced disappearance
Syrian Government’s Armed Troops systematically and intentionally violated these laws and international conventions using violence torture methods against detainees, which led to kill 2,441 Syrian citizens under torture, including 82 children, 24 women, 51 aged (more than 60 years old), and 107 armed rebels (less than 5% of the toll victims under torture).
SNHR noticed the increase of the frequency in torture and deaths by torture in the last four months, which led to the increase in the number of victims tortured to death since the Syrian uprise to unprecedented high levels.
April 2013: the highest rate of torturing to death occurred in this month, 186 civilians were killed under torture, an average of 5 civilians every day.
(chart #5 :The following chart shows the distribution of the victims who tortured to death in security branches per month)
There is a high number of cases for those who were tortured to death, we were unable to document this because of restrictions and deprivation of work in the Syrian territory. This means the real number could be far greater, especially since there are prisons who torture people to death and then throw the bodies in vacant land or in rivers, so it will decompose and disintegrate and blur the crime.
(chart #6 :The following chart shows the distribution of the 2441 tortured to death victims on the Syrian governorates)
There are 42 methods documenting torturing methods that claimed the lives of 2,441 citizens, divided into three positions:
First: torture methods: SNHR documented 9 positions
Second: Various kinds of torturing ( 22 cases )
Third: Psychological torture (12 cases)
First: torture methods : SNHR could document 9 positions
1- Ghost Technique (Shabeh position): hanging victims to bathroom ceiling from the wrists while they stand on a chair, then taking the chair away so the victim will stand on the ground by his/ her big toe.
Another case of Shabeh, known as fly ghost, where they tightened one of his/her feet with the victim’s hand using the same rope for many hours and even a day or two, causing hands to inflate or even cut
2- Tire position (Dulab) the victim is forced to bend at the waist and stick his head, neck, legs and sometimes arms into the inside of a car tire, then start beating him on different parts of his body
3- Flying Carpet position (Basat Al-reeh) involves tying the victim down to a two sections flat so that the detainee’s hands and feet get tied to the front and back of the plank, and his face on the ground of it. Then, the front side of the plank is lifted as to fold it so that the body of the detainee gets folded until his head touches his feet. This leads to a dangerous stretch in the ligaments and nerves of the spine, which results the most dreadful kind of pain a person can suffer from. Meanwhile, another person is beating the detainee.
4- Crucify: the hands and legs of the detainee are tightened like a crucified person then he/she is beaten specifically on the genitals
5- Hanging: the hands are tied behind the back, then the detainee is hanged up and beaten with sticks and wires.
6- Smashing, where a detainee’s head is placed between the wall and the door of the prison, the door is closed on the head of the detainee.
7- Electrocution: a metal chair, the detainee is seated on it, then they put on the electric current.
8- Electric shocks to various parts of body
9- The German chair ( Al-kursi al-Almani ): a metal chair with moving parts to which the victim is tied by their hands and feet. The backrest of the chair bends backwards causing acute hyperextension of the spine and severe pressure on the victims neck and limbs
Second : Various kinds of torturing ( 22 cases )
1- Using all methods of beating on all body parts by different tools such as stake and electric cables, called colloquially ( Robai ), to beat on the soles and tread on the head.
2- Completely uprooting fingernails.
3- Removing hair from different parts of the body
4- Cutting out flesh by forceps from sensitive organs
5- Rapping male and female detainees
6- Forcing the detainee to rape his/her cell mate
7- Cutting out some parts of the detainee body; such as finger, flesh, or stabbing in the back or stomach
8- Burning detainees’ skin with chemical acids or cigarettes.
9- exposing the detainee after being forced to take off all clothes and covers to extreme cold.
10- depriving the detainee from medical care totally as there is a lack of medical care in large number of prisons.
11- Preventing the detainee to use the toilet but once or twice a day, forcing him/her sometimes to urinate on himself/herself. If the detainee is allowed to use toilet, the period may not exceed a minute. The detainee is also prevented from taking shower, going out and breathing fresh air.
12-Keeping a large number of detainees in a small cell (keeping 45 detainees in a 15 meter cell, Air Force Intelligence, Aleppo).
13-Pouring cold water over the body after being hit and wounded.
14-Cracking ribs.
15-insufficient amount of water and food which are not enough for a quarter of detainees.
16-Standing up on foot and hung up from hands for successive days.
17- Using underground cells without ventilation.
18-Pouring boiling oil or water over legs
19-Cutting the ear using the clipper used to trim the trees.
20-Stressing ears and nose using mallet.
21-Hanging up and then tying something heavy to the penis.
22-Electric shocking, specialy in breasts, knees, and elbows.
Third: Psychological torture (14 cases):
SNHR documented the most systematic and practice 14 cases:
1- Forcing the detainee to watch his/her mate being raped.
2- Threatening the detainee that they will rape him/ her .
3- Force the detainee to watch his/her mates tortured and tortured to death.

11-Forcing the detainee to admit crimes he did not commit with the threat of doubling the torture.
12-Commanding the detainee to prostrate for Assad`s portrait.
13-Deluding the detainee that he/she is going to be released and opening the cell’s door, then bringing him/her back for torture.
14-Taking the detainee to the prison’s doctor for treatment. The doctor hits him/her on the painful part, then the detainee is taken back to be re-tortured. So that none ask again for doctor.
Finally, the Syrian Network for Human Rights wants to confirm its constant belief that the violations against human rights in Syria is to be classified as crimes against humanity, which necessitates the referral of all the responsible to The International Criminal Court without any delay cause of the political interests of the major countries in the Security Council. What have took place and is still taking place in Syria now are atrocities deserve to be referred to The International Criminal Court to be investigated in the same way that was during the Libyan Revolution during two weeks only. This hasn’t been yet done despite the expiration of twenty six months or more of the flagrant violations against human rights in Syria.
The Syrian Network for Human Rights emphasizes its constant and deep-rooted readiness, through its members of experts in investigating, documenting and following up, to cooperate with the investigators of The International Criminal Court to present everyone contributed by giving orders or committing crimes of violation against human rights in Syria to a fair hearing which could avenge for those who suffered and are still suffering in Syria from the injustice, absolutism and pain of violating their human rights which were guaranteed by the international legitimacy for human rights, and which the International Legitimacy that is mired in dubious silence hasn’t yet seen.

The Report:
In this report, we rely on the testimonies of a few survivors and cite witnesses in addition to several phone calls and texts of more than 7 activists on the ground. But to this moment, we could not visit the scene, but we have asked for, and got, a large number of recordings, photos and videos of survivors’ testimonies and then compared with videos and photos we got via our official email ( you can find attached to our report)
Banyias massacre continued over 3 days. It started on Thursday, May 1, 2013, until May 4, 2013. Horrible events occurred on each day
Ethnic cleansing occurred in Sunni Districts:
1- Al-Bayda village: On May 2, 2013, a massacre took place in Bayda, SNHR could document by name and photo 263 civilian victims, including 43 children, and 28 women, all of them from Bayda
2- Ras Alnabaa village: On May 4, 2013, a massacre took place in Ras Alnabaa. SNHR documented 196 civilian killed, including 63 children and 43 women. They were killed by shelling, which was followed by other methods of murder and ethnic cleansing
Thus, the death toll of the ethnic cleansing massacre in Baniyas is 458 civilians; including 93 children and 71 women
Details about the first massacre: Al-bayda village
It is systematic that Syrian Government’s Armed Forces punish civilians from any area they clashes with their troops,
dozens of threats to civilians through loudspeakers in all Syrian territories if shot one bullet against them from any area, then they will exterminate the whole area and as doing that they just want pretext to explode
This acts violate Customary IHRL, the applicable law in armed conflicts:
Rule 1. The parties to the conflict must always distinguish between civilians and combatants. Attacks may only be directed against combatants. Attacks must not be directed against civilians.
Rule 2. Acts or threats of violence the primary purpose of which is to spread terror among the civilian population are prohibited.
Rule 6. Civilians are protected against attack, unless and for such time as they take a direct part in hostilities.
Rule 7. The parties to the conflict must always distinguish between civilian objects and military objectives. Attacks may only be directed against military objectives. Attacks must not be directed against civilian objects.
Rule 10. Civilian objects are protected against attack, unless and for such time as they are military objectives.
In the early morning on Thursday, May 2, 2013, a small clash occurred on a military checkpoint near Al-Baiyda between few Armed rebel’s fighters and Syrian Government’s Armed Forces
( Noting that Baniyas is one of the most peaceful areas in Syria, cause it is Multi-denominational there is no armed opposition there)
After one or two hours Syrian Government’s Armed Forces surrounded Al-Baiyda town and started the usual three phases before every massacre:
1- Siege, shelling, cut off electricity and communications
2- Stormed
3- Extrajudicial killings, slaughter, looting and arrest
According to survived family who fled from death in the massacre, some of them now in Turkey, they said: amid total cut off electricity and communications; Syrian Government’s Armed Forces shelled the town for several hours, then they started storming the town accompanied by security forces, Shabiha from the neighboring Alawite villages and members of Lebanese Hezbollah (were recognizable cause of their Lebanese accent) and begun terribly slaughtering, killing and executing people, using knives, cleavers, edged weapons and even smashing head to death with stones and then they burned many of the corpses.
(Noting that inhabitants of AL-Baiyda is almost 6000 people)
This massacre is considered to be the worst massacre in the history of the Syrian Revolution. They slaughtered, distorted, cut the organs of children and women then burned and then dumped the corpses on top of each other in streets
On the next day: Friday, May 3, 2013, almost at 10.00 am, again random shilling and missiles on the town, and dozens of people tried to flee across the orchards.
They again stormed the village from Ajamah mountain’s axis, and Marah village’s axis (Christian majority) who didn’t participant in the massacre or was not killed because the explicit order was to kill only Sunni people. They then slaughtered civilians with knives, cleavers and field executions lasted to nearly 2 PM, of course prevent Friday prayers ritual.
Large number was not immediately killed, but they were arrested and taken to Alzoba Alawite village, where we received news that they were killed there
Their corpses remained on the streets and in houses, where they rotted
Many houses and cars have been burned
After that another Syrian Government’s Armed Forces chased the families who fled from Al-Baiyda to orchards and neighboring towns, launched raids, prosecutions and arrests in those areas: Agricultural Wata Albaida area and Sahm Albahr area, we got news about executions there, but we couldn’t get eye witnesses or survivors to confirm
Syrian Government’s Armed Forces imposed a suffocating siege on Markeb and Basatin villages, they arrest dozens of citizens especially in the upper neighborhood of the village, where they took a large number of families (men, women, children) to Alkaokab village, while they were beating, assaulting and abusing them, them they allowed children and women to return to their villages on foot. One of the parents told us that the reason for setting free children and women is to keep them as a hostage when they need.
Looting and arresting continued for two days (Friday and Saturday), families saw trucks loaded with furniture conveyed to Alawite towns.
Survivor and eyewitnesses’ accounts of the massacre:
A survivor’s story: still alive and you can communicate with him:
“Regime’s Forces burned my uncle and all of his children before me, they burned them alive,” he said
The people made sure that one of the massacre’s chief instigator and overseer nicknamed (Ali al-Kayyali), the real name is Mihraç Ural, Alawite of Turkish origins from Antakya

Details about the Second massacre: Ras Alnabaa village
Friday, May 3, 2013
Ras Alnabaa: poor neighborhood, almost 400 m2 linked with Baniyas in two ways: 1-bridge known as Ras Alnabaa bridge, 2- and high way
In Thursday, May 2, 2013, when the residents in Ras Alnabaa heard frequent news about the shelling and killing in Al-Baiyda, most of them took their belongings and fleed from the neighborhood to escape from death
When the residents tried to escape through the bridge, Syrian Government’s Armed Forces at the bridge barrier prevented them, and arrested all of them They separated women, children and elders, and order them back to the neighborhood, tortured and humiliated men, and ordered them to return to the neighborhood.
They tried to flee once a few days ago before the massacre, but they were prevented.
In this report, SNHR relies on testimonies of few survivors, the most important is Abo Mohammad’s testimony
Friday on May 3, 2013, after Syrian Government’s Armed Forces prevented dozens of families from fleeing across the bridge on Ras Alnabaa – many of them used the highway to flee
On Friday, noon, approximately at 2: 30 PM, Syrian Government’s Armed Forces started the usual phases before every massacre Siege, shelling, cutting off electricity and communications, storming, killing, slaughtering, looting, arresting, and burning
Heavy artillery was erected at the bottom of Ras Alnabaa bridge and another artillery at AlQoz bridge with few tanks, suddenly without any alarm deliberately started shelling the local residents’ houses heavily, because no one was there, heavy gunfire continued for about one hour
After shelling, they initiated the next phase, where almost 1000 fighters performed a house to house raid. They started executing, killing, and slaughtering families. Entire families were annihilated
Abo Mohamad Told us:
“Storming started at 2:30 PM, Intruders were wearing black T-shirts and camouflage trousers, I saw them with my own eyes, I know some of them and I know their families, as Zahraa, Marouf, Shamali, Haidar families and others, they entered in regiments of 200, then 150, then 200, they stormed the town with trucks, they gathered in Al-Qusor Alawite neighborhood, they started to expel families of their houses, and executed them directly, it took five minutes to execute each family.
There was a child, they split him from his head to the middle of his back
I watched a young man, they threw him on the ground and then they swooped on him to stamp him with knifes
I watched a woman, I know her family, she is well known in the neighborhood, they took off her clothes and raped her, I saw that in my eyes, then they cut her hand, and they half slaughtered her.
They burned one of the shops, they threw four children after cutting them, they also threw a girl into the fire while she was alive.
I am trying to summon up my strength and memory… there was a whole family, they ordered them to turn their faces to the walls, when they were loading their Russian weapons, a woman fell to the ground and survived, she is still alive.
I estimated the number of the killed and slaughtered people whom I saw with my eyes from neighbors and relatives about 250 victims, there are many areas in the neighborhood that I couldn’t see.
Killing and slaughtering continued until 1 am, after midnight, after that in a while I escaped with my family through mountain, I knew then later that they allowed some of the survived residents to flee across the Corniche Street.
How could we live with them, joke and laugh, eat and drink, are they human being like us?” Abo Mohamad added finally
“The villages from where the buses of Shabiha left, and participated in the massacre:
Kaabiat Farish – Dier Albashl – Alanaza – Tairo – Almowred – Alasiba – Alzoba – Alquz in Baniyas – Aldalia – Taanita – Hraison – Kawkab Aala Albasatine – Sarbione – Alkaloaa – Barmaia – Bloza – along with many other villages that we couldn’t recognized.
The residents also recognized some families of those villages that their sons participated in the massacre:
Ahmad family – Mashraqi family – Aateki family – Ali family – Atek family – Jadid family – Shamali family – Hasan family – Saaod family – Zahraa family – Al Daiob family
They killed all the members of Rajab family, father, mother even children, in horrible ways: slaughtering, explosion heads, a girl called Iman from Rajab family stayed alive for a while, then she died affected her horrific wounds
Yasin family, Taha family, Suliman family, Husain family, Zarzour family, and many other families were wiped off the face of the earth
They raided the well known media activist’s house Ms. Baian Jaloul, who had a prominent role in transferring ongoing news and images. They took revenge and killed her in a very horrific way, they ripped her face with knifes, cut her nose, stomped on her hands and feet, slaughtered her, and left her dying in pain. She was transferring and publishing the news of what was happening
Her fiancé (also a media activist who worked together in Baniyas) came to her before she died, she asked him to drink water, then she died in his hands
Moments earlier, she wrote some of what she saw before she was killed: approximately at 6:43 PM until 6:50 pm:
” – Allahu Akbar – Allahu Akbar (God is the greatest – God is the greatest)
-8 victims
– Every 10 shells together
– They are pouring gasoline in houses and burning them
– Takebeer ( say God is the greatest)
– Extermination in Ras Alnabaa my friends
– Pray for us
– No one is helping us
– Oh my God, martyrs on the streets
– We will die too
– Shelling in front of our house
– They burned houses and poured gasoline
– Extermination in Ras Alnabaa ”

An eyewitness told us that, because hatred and revenge: they were slaughtering children before their mothers’ eyes, then they slaughtered mothers and the rest of the families.
He also told us that they stabbed all the youths with knives and shot them with bullets
They didn’t allow doctors or paramedics or anyone else to enter the neighborhood at all, and for those who tried to enter, the snipes deployed in Alquz Alawite neighborhood thwarted them.
Then: Syrian Government’s Armed Forces looted houses and loaded electric and home devices into trucks, and emptied the contents of the houses then burned a large number of them.
On Saturday, May 4, 2013, and after the news of the ethnic cleansing massacre that took place in Ras Alnaaba neighborhood, Baniyas City experienced great displacement, when families arrived to the entrance of the other cities such as Jabla and Tartous, Syrian Government’s Armed Forces prevented them from entering, then they came back to the rural areas especially the Christian villages who embraced them and erected tents for them, opened the churches to housing them.
Most of the displaced families gathered in two areas Alkharab and Zamrine
Sunday, May 5, 2013, again partial shelling on Ras Alnabaa sides, Syrian Government’s Armed Forces allowed for some families to entre, where governmental teams have washed by water tanks the blood and carnage, and they brought the official media to show that the village had been liberated from Al-Qaeda and terrorism
Monday, May 6, 2013, Syrian Red Crescent’s teams (SRC) escorted with Security forces and Shabiha entered the neighborhood and watched with the families the rotten corpses of women, children and men on the ground where the families were unable to bury them or even come close.
SRC escorted with Shabiha loaded dozens of corpses in four trucks using bulldozed, where they buried them in mass graves: tow trucks of corpses buried in an area known as Alnaznada and the other two trucks in the cemetery located in Almarqeb bridge.
This cemeteries well known for families and they can show it to any investigation commission
Arrested or victims
According to an eyewitnesses:
“In Ras Alnabaa in Banyias figures indicated that almost 200 victims were killed, and 100 are missing
The primary statistics are almost 600 victims, and 400 are missing unknown whether they were dead,arrested , or the bodies kidnapped by security forces”
One of the testimony in Ras Alnabaa said:
“I saw from my house’s window Shabiha while they were collecting corpses in the night in Ras Alnabaa Square and put them in bags then in cars and left the square”
Accounts of the massacre’s survivors
“When they started the attack of Ras Alnabaa few families hided in a basement dedicated to cattle fear of oppression and brutality of the regime, when the gangs finished committing their crimes, families started to check the deaths and saw what makes hair turning gray form rape, cutting organs, bodies’ distortion, they found few people still alive because they were half slaughtered to make the slaughtered suffering more ”
“I saw with my own eyes the family who survived from death by Shabiha, they told me that they heard their call with their leaders: we finished our mission successfully and we could eliminate them, when they came out of victims’ houses, they shot the deaths and their houses again”
Witness added ”[t]he witnesses told me that when they were burning houses and victims, they scattered yellow atoms with a very bad smell on the floors and on the victims, it cause tremendous fire within seconds, some of the equipments and mechanisms who involved in the attack demolished some walls to hide the burned bodies underneath while they were saying loudly Labaika Ya Husain – Lbaika Ya Assad ( Oh Assad, Oh Husain ”
Survived mother of the massacre:
“Army and Shabiha raided our house, they took out my husband and my son, they said we just want to inspect them then they called me out, and executed them in front of my eyes, I collapsed”

Responsibility of States
Responsibility of States for Internationally Wrongful Acts
Responsibility of states for internationally wrongful acts, similarly Customary IHL provides that states that the state is responsible for all acts committed by a members of its military and security forces, thus the states is responsible of wrongful acts committed by its military and security forces including crimes against humanity
Prohibition crimes against humanity are among the rules of jus cogens or peremptory, and punish such crimes is compulsory according to the General principles of international law. Moreover, the crimes against humanity are the height violations of basic human rights, such as the right to life and prohibition of torture or other cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment. In accordance with the principles of State responsibility in international law, Syrian Arabic Republic hold responsibility for such crimes and violations, the duty to ensure punishment of the perpetrators individually and the duty to provide compensation to victims
SNHR hold all violations committed by Syrian Government Armed Forces to the Syrian government and the General Commander of the army and the armed forces, Bashar Al-Assad, and to all the officials of security branches, and to all financially and morally supporters to those forces, with the legal judicial and material consequences to the victims and their families in addition to all the reactions that will come by the families or their friends
Conclusions:
1- SNHR emphasizes that collective and individual killings as reported previously was deliberately targeted unarmed civilians, despite government claims that Alqaeda and terrorists committed these crimes, thus Syria Government’s Armed Forces and Shabiha violated international human rights law that protects the right of life, along with being committed in non-international armed conflicts a crimes tantamount to war crimes and had all the conditions
2- SNHR emphasizes that the killings that occurred in Baniyas are crimes against humanity, and elements of systematic and widespread attack against civilian population in the town, where there were a siege, shelling, ground attack, house searches, executions
The same applies on rape, kidnapping, looting and thefts even it is relatively less than Extrajudicial killings.
3- Random Attacks committed by Syrian Government’s Armed Forces considered as violation of customary international humanitarian law, where they shelled a populated areas not a specific military target
4- Those attacks, especially bombings, have caused occasional losses of civilian life, injury or damage to civilian objects. There are very strong indications to believe that the damage was too excessive when compared to the expected military advantage.
5- Syrian Government’s Armed Forces and Shabiha committed various types of cruel and inhuman acts of torture against people in violation of the State’s obligations under international humanitarian law and international human rights law
6- SNHR emphasis that Syrian Government’s Armed Forces and Shabiha war crime of looting. And contributed to the destruction and burning of property during searches of homes in the events of Baniyas.
7- The volume of the massacre and repeated nature of the massacres, the excessive force used and random nature of the shelling and coordinated nature of the attack couldn’t be unless under the higher guidance which is a state policy
Recommendations :
Syrian Government
1- Immediately stop all human rights’ violations.
2- Respect international obligations of protection of civilians in time of war, and respect the rules of international humanitarian law and international human rights law
Human Rights Council:
1- Demand the Security Council and the concerned international institutions to hold their responsibilities of what’s happening for the Syrian People of killing, rape, displacement, and arrested
2- Pay more serious attention to torture-death cases which considered as the worst type of crimes at all
3- Pressure the Syrian Government Troops to stop torturing and killing and release all kidnapped and arrested
4- Hold allies and supporters of the Syrian Government Troops: Russia, Iran and China, the morally and physically responsible for what’s happening to the Syrian people
Security Council:
1- Decide to refer all the criminals and the involved to ICC
2- Warn the Syrian Government Troops of the repercussions for using brutal methods on the stability of civil peace and coexistence between the people of the same society
Arab League:
1- Demand Human Right Council and United Nations to give a serious and right attention of stop daily killing
2- Political and diplomatic pressure on the Syrian Government Troops ‘s main allies – Russia, Iran andChina-to prevent them from continuously providing cover and international and political protection for all the crimes committed against the Syrian people and hold them morally and physically responsible for all the excesses of the Syrian Government Troops
3- Serious attention of this case and give it a high priority, and try to take care of victims’ families psychologically, materially, and educationally
SNHR: 83598 people have been killed since Syria’s uprising against Bashar al-Assad
SNHR’s documentation policy requires that documents be provided from at least two different sources unconnected with each other.
SNHR does not issue statistics unless they are provided from files containing very precise details of each death case, fully identified by the name of the victim, as well as the date and location of death.
Using these standards, SNHR was adopted by the UN as one of the most important resources in statistics related to the victims of the Syrian conflicts, and from the renowned statistics provided at the beginning of this year, which stated the killing of 60.000 Syrian citizens. SNHR was also adopted as the main source for many news agencies.
SNHR documented civilian casualties in addition to free army victims as a result of the possibility to apply the network’s criteria in documentation and verification. This criteria is not applicable to the Syrian Government’s Armed Forces’ dead because such information compiling is restricted and subject to prosecution.
Between Syria’s uprising began in March 2011, and as of May 15 2013, SNHR documented that at least 80159 people were killed. The distribution is as follows: 75992 civilians (91% civilian victims), 7606 Syrian Free Army (9% fighter brigades).
Among the civilians: 7686 women, 8329 children, and 2441 people who were tortured to death
(The following link to the official SNHR website is provided below, you can find the names and details of all the victims)
As a reference, we were able to document by name, location, photo and video within the available possibilities under the embargo and censorship imposed by the Syrian Government. Although our estimation suggests that the real number of victims is double, up to nearly a quarter million.
In Syria, a civilian is killed by the Syrian Government’s Armed Troops every eight hours, 135 civilians are killed on a daily basis. Every two hours a child killed, and every three hours a woman is killed.
The following chart shows the distribution of the 83598 victims in the Syrian governorates:
Damascus countryside: 17551 victims
Homs: 14254 victims
Aleppo: 11770 victims
Idlib: 10161 victims
Daraa: 7472 victims
Hama: 6492 victims
Damascus: 5597 victims
Dier Alzoor: 5477 victims
Lattakia: 1435 victims
Raqqa: 953 victims
Qunaitra: 651 victims
Hasaka: 638 victims
Tartous: 338 victims
Swidaa: 119 victims
Child victims:
Syrian Government’s Armed Forces killed 8329 children, including 82 children who were arrested and tortured to death. The proportion of child victims relative to victims overall is 9%, which is considerably high, and indicates that civilians are deliberately targeted and systematically killed. In addition there are almost 9000 children currently detained by Syrian Government’s Armed Forces.
Female victims:
Syrian Government’s Armed Forces killed 7686 women, including 24 women who were arrested and tortured to death. Among the female victims, 2507 girls were killed. The proportion of female victims relative to victims overall is 9%, which is considerably high, and indicates that civilians are deliberately targeted and systematically killed. Nearly 6500 women are currently detained, and more than 5000 women were raped by Syrian Government’s Armed Forces.
Torturing to death:
Syrian Government’s Armed Forces systematically and deliberately violated international conventions and laws that clearly and explicitly prohibit torture by using very brutal torture methods against detainees. Such actions led to the deaths of 2441 Syrian civilians, including 82 children, 24 women, 51 over senior citizens, and 106 armed rebels; This shows that less than 5% of those tortured were armed rebels, and the rest were civilians.
There is a high volume of cases for those who were tortured to death, but due to the restrictions and inaccessibility to work in the Syrian territory, we were unable to document them. This reveals that the real number could be far greater than what is currently known, especially since there are prisons who torture people to death and throw the bodies of the tortured into vacant land or rivers in an effort to decompose and disintegrate them and blur the crime.
Condemnation And Responsibilities
Responsibility of states for internationally wrongful acts, similarly Customary IHL provides that the state is responsible for all acts committed by a member of its military and security forces, thus, the state is responsible for those wrongful acts committed by its military and security forces including crimes against humanity.
