Legal Memo Accuses Syrian Officers of Atrocities in Suweida - The Syrian Observer
SUWEIDA CITY, SYRIA, JUL 23 – A detailed legal memo accuses Syrian generals of orchestrating the siege and massacre at Suweida National Hospital during sectarian violence that killed over 1,000 Druze civilians.
- Syrian human rights advocates submitted a legal memorandum accusing Brigadier Generals Ahmed Haitham al-Dalati and Shaher Jabr Omran of war crimes during the recent deadly assault on Suweida province.
- The memorandum asserts that these violations occurred within a coordinated strategy directed by Dalati, involving security blockades and the participation of armed militants with extremist beliefs amidst conflicts between Druze militias and Bedouin tribes.
- A massacre occurred inside Suweida National Hospital where militia loyal to Sheikh Hikmat al-Hijri besieged, stormed, and killed civilians and security personnel before government forces recaptured it.
- The memo reports the killing of civilians—including women and children—by summary execution, widespread destruction of homes and religious sites, and urges an independent international inquiry, sanctions against Dalati, and his referral to the International Criminal Court.
- The United Nations and human rights groups demand transparent probes into these bloody events, but restricted access and militia obstruction complicate evidence preservation and accountability efforts.
