Introduction
Not a day goes by without the Syrian regime committing numerous types of gross
violations of human rights in different cities and regions of Syria. While the Syrian
regime has long been renowned for having among the worst human rights recordsin the world, the intensity and frequency of the current violations has taken a whole
new dimension since the beginning of the Syrian Revolution in March. This has led
the United Nations Human Rights Council to consider that the [Assad regime] hadcommitted crimes against humanity.
In this report, published by the Local Coordinating Committees in Syria (LCC), we
have documented some of the violations committed during the reporting period,
selecting the most heinous violations with most severe consequences, as well as
considering geographical diversity. This report is certainly not exhaustive with
regard to all the violations committed during this period, due to the impossibility of
following the high numbers of incidents that are repeatedly being witnessed in
dozens of cities and towns throughout the country.
The sources of this report rely greatly on the monitoring and documentation work
of the LCC, either through its legal teams or through its media office. LCC field
workers collect information from various sources and cross-check it to ensure
accuracy. Information is also collected from direct testimonies from victims and
their families; for statistics of martyrs we rely on the figures from the Centre for
Documentation of Violations in Syria,www.vdc-sy.org,which cross-checks its
information on a continuous basis through the activists working with the centre.
The LCC would like to thank all those who helped contribute to this report, and
welcomes any comments or suggestions. Please contact us using the informationbelow.
