In Video: Syria Rebels Atrocities Continue, Public Executions after Cannibalism

Local Editor

Two years have passed as the international world turns a blind eye to the armed groups' atrocities in Syria under the pretext "the so-called Syrian revolution seeks freedom and human rights."

However, as time passed, these revolutionaries appeared cannibalistic and the rule they seek turned to be that of torture and brutality.
Few days ago, a Syrian armed group leader shocked the world after being documented biting into the heart of a dead Syrian soldier.

Khalid al-Hamad, also known as Abu Sakkar, confirmed in an interview with Time magazine he was indeed the man in the video and revealed that he had another as-yet-unreleased propaganda showing him sawing a government soldier into pieces.
Hours later, other videos were posted to assumed "rebels" executing civilians and soldiers in a very harsh manner.

The videos were shot in more than one region, particularly Raqa province and Deir Zour.

In al-Raqa's public square, the so-called "Islamic Emirate in Iraq and the Levant" performed a public execution to three Syrians, shooting them from behind.
Meanwhile, a large "al-Qaeda" flag was raised on a building in the square.



The images, captured on amateur video, showed armed masked men raising their weapons and shooting three men sitting on the curb until their bodies lay bloodied and lifeless in a city under the control of rebel forces.

According to news agencies, al-Raqa's Square or the Punishment Square, as dubbed by the leaders of the terrorist elements, witnesses daily executions to Syrians arrested by the armed groups.
"Citizens are brought over various pretexts to the death row," the Arabi Press site mentioned.
It further reported that these pretexts vary from dealing with the regime to refraining from supporting the armed groups to reach accusing people of not performing daily prayers.

In parallel, several reports revealed that the armed groups' brutality reached the level of murdering children no more than five years old.
Condemning these crimes, several protests were launched in al-Raqa demanding its freedom from the armed groups.

In Deir Zour, fighters of the al-Qaeda-linked Nusra Front in Syria executed 11 men, a video published on Thursday showed.

A man whose face was covered in a black balaclava shot each man in the back of the head as they kneeled, blindfolded and lined up.
"The sharia court for the eastern region in Deir al-Zour has sentenced to death these apostate soldiers," the executioner said on the video.

Earlier, Human Rights Watch said it had documented more than a dozen executions by rebels in the Northern provinces of Idlib and Aleppo and the coastal region of Latakia. "Three opposition leaders who were confronted with evidence of extrajudicial killings said the victims had deserved to die," HRW reported.

"Declarations by opposition groups that they want to respect human rights are important, but the real test is how opposition forces behave," said Nadim Houry, deputy Middle East director at HRW. "Time and again Syria's opposition has told us it is fighting against the government because of its abhorrent human rights violations. Now is the time for the opposition to show that they really mean what they say."
