Syrian committee reports 1,426 killed in March violence
SYRIA, JUL 22 – The Syrian committee identified nearly 300 suspects involved in crimes including murder and looting amid sectarian violence that displaced over 128,000 people, the UN said.
- On Tuesday, the Syrian investigative committee released its report on the March violence in the coastal region, delayed by concurrent violence in Suwayda, confirming 1,426 deaths including civilians and former military personnel.
- After March 6 attacks by armed groups loyal to Assad killed 238 security personnel, the committee was formed on March 9 with a one-month mandate, and `sectarian motives were mostly based on revenge, not ideology`, Yasser al-Farhan said.
- Nearly 300 suspects were referred for prosecution, officials told journalists, with 37 arrests, amid documented abuses spanning 40 locations targeting Alawite communities.
- Tens of thousands of Alawite families fled to Lebanon, the report emerged as southern Syria was rocked by fresh sectarian violence threatening recovery, finding no evidence that Syria’s new military leaders had ordered the attacks.
- The Red Crescent will send another aid convoy on Wednesday carrying 66 tons of supplies, Baqleh said.
