The security forces killed in Syria today (until now) more than 25 martyrs. 22 martyrs in Homs and 3 in Idlib this comes as the first result for the Arab league initiatives which was agreed by the Syrian regime yesterday
First day of the Arab League’s initiative: High price of syrian blood paid by the Syrian people
The day after the Syrian regime announced its acceptance of the Arab league’s initiative, which includes withdrawal of the army from cities, stopping the killing machine, and releasing the detainees, security forces and the regime’s Shabiha killed 22 Syrian citizens, destroyed tens of houses, and arrested tens in different areas.
The 22 martyrs including a child fell from being shot by security and the army shells in the city of Homs and Tal Al-Shor village, also including one of the soldiers who was shot in the head after refusing to shoot on the people. And the corpse of an almost 30 years old young man was found in Deir Baalouba with signs of violent torture. Fall of three martyrs were reported in Idlib.
And the neighborhood of Baba Amr also witnessed heavy shelling from Al-Arayees side, which led to the destruction of a number of houses.
The city of Homs also witnessed heavy overflights of military aircraft at low altitude, which focused on Baba Amr area, and the electricity cut off continued for the fourth day in a row in many neighborhoods of Homs, such as: Bab Tadmur, a part of Warsheh, and a large part of Bab Sbaa.
This and several Syrian cities and villages have witnessed protests that call for toppling the regime and chant for Homs and besieged cities, including Banyas/Qarir, Deir Ezzor/Jebila district, Latakia/Tishreen University, Damascus/Qanawat district, Hama, Idlib, Aleppo, and Kanaker in Damascus Suburbs. Protests also came out in the Colleges of Education and Economics in Daraa and pictures of Bashar were removed. Cities that enjoy sectarian diversity have witnessed attempts by the regime to undermine the unity of the Syrian people. As such they stole the corpses so as to hold the other parties responsible for the destruction carried out by the security apparatus. The campaigns of brutal raids and arrests in Damascus Suburbs continue and reached Saqba, Kafar Batna, and Zamalka. Two students were detained from the faculties of law and sciences in Damascus following a protest that several students participated in. They chanted for freedom before they were attacked by security forces.
A campaign of arbitrary detention at Aleppo University was reported. This was accompanied by beating and insulting students in an attempt to suppress any anti-regime movement.
Today’s events leave no doubt that the regime continues to dodge and maneuver its way to buy time, that its agreement to the Arab League initiative is not worth the ink it is written in, and that it is going forward with its crimes despite approving the Arab League initiative.
Thus, we see it incumbent upon the Arab countries to monitor the conduct of the regime, which is well known to be evasive and deceptive, and to adopt a firm stance toward it in order to prevent it from utilizing this opportunity to commit more crimes.
In this context, the Coordination of Baba Amr in Homs has announced a distress call to the Arab League demanding immediate relief and to hold the League responsible for any more victims and crimes committed against the defenseless people of Baba Amr
