Summary
Syrian security forces executed over a hundred, possibly many more, civilians and wounded or captured opposition fighters during their recent attacks on cities and towns. This report documents the involvement of Syrian forces and pro-government shabeeha militias in summary and extrajudicial executions in the governorates of Idlib and Homs. Government and pro-government forces not only executed opposition fighters they had captured, or who had otherwise stopped fighting and posed no threat, but also civilians who likewise posed no threat to the security forces. Human Rights Watch has called on the UN Security Council to refer the situation in Syria to the International Criminal Court, impose an arms embargo on the Syrian government and sanction Syrian officials as well as rebel commanders involved in previously documented serious human rights violations.--P. [4] of cover.
