    Syria defector's photos depict 'systematic torture and killing' of detainees

    WARNING: Story contains graphic content, images​


    A Syrian military police photographer has supplied "clear evidence" showing the systematic torture and killing of about 11,000 detainees in circumstances that evoked Nazi death camps, former war crimes prosecutors said.

    One of the prosecutors said the evidence documented "industrial scale killing".

    'Systematic torture and killing'

    Bearing signs of torture, some of the corpses had no eyes. Others showed signs of strangulation or electrocution.

    Assad has denied war crimes, saying he is fighting "terrorists" who want to use Syria to sow chaos across the Middle East.
    But 55,000 images provided by the photographer, who fled Syria after passing the pictures to Assad's opponents, show emaciated and mutilated corpses.

    "There is clear evidence, capable of being believed by a tribunal of fact in a court of law, of systematic torture and killing of detained persons by the agents of the Syrian government," the three prosecutors said in the 31-page report.

    Photographer flees Syria

    The defector, who was codenamed Caesar and whose identity has not been released to the media, had worked as a criminal investigator for the military police for 13 years prior to his defection.

    The three former prosecutors, who worked at the criminal war crimes tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and Sierra Leone, examined the evidence and interviewed the source in three sessions in the last 10 days. They found him credible.

    I guess it is too early to speculate WHO is behind this (smear?) attack on Assad's regime. I know Syria was on the "To do" list of the US Zionists. You might remember General Wesley Clark, who listed the seven countries to be "democratized".

    Arabs will continue to open lie threads about Israel, while they perform genocide and mass killings among themselves.
    Shame on you Allah's followers !! Shame !!

    Amb Prosor addresses UN Security Council
    President Abbas could learn a great deal from King Hussein of Jordan about
    demonstrating his commitment to making peace.
    (Communicated by Israel's Permanent Mission to the United Nations)

    On January 20, 2014, Israel's Ambassador to the United Nations, Ron Prosor
    addressed the Security Council on the Situation in the Middle East.
    Ambassador Prosor attacked the Palestinian leadership's continuous
    incitement against Israel and discussed the violence and instability
    afflicting the Middle East.

    Ambassador Prosor said: "President Abbas could learn a great deal from King
    Hussein of Jordan about demonstrating his commitment to making peace. I and
    most Israelis will never forget the sight of King Hussein consoling the
    Israeli families whose children had been killed in a terrorist attack.

    Contrast this picture, with a picture from just a few weeks ago when
    released terrorists were given a heroes’ welcome by the Palestinians and
    embraced by President Abbas. Murderers were met with fireworks and
    festivities and showered with candies and congratulations. The Palestinian
    Authority is rewarding terrorists with tens of thousands of dollars. The
    motto of the PA’s pension plan seems to be ‘the more you slay, the more we
    pay.'

    From cradles to kindergartens and from schools to soccer stadiums,
    Palestinian children are besieged by messages of hate. They are born in
    hospitals named after violent Palestinian groups, attend schools named after
    terrorists, and are taught from textbooks that describe Zionism as racism."

    Referring to the ongoing peace talks, Ambassador Prosor said: "The
    Palestinian leadership has yet to learn that real peace requires real
    commitment. You cannot condemn terrorism to international media and
    congratulate terrorists on Palestinian media. You cannot victimize others
    and then insist you are the victim. And you cannot use this forum to spread
    destructive messages and expect constructive results. "

    Ambassador Prosor also referred to the new Iranian president and emphasized
    that since his election, Iran is still persecuting minorities, imprisoning
    journalists and targeting political adversaries.

    He said: "Rather than cleaning house, the new president believes he can
    sweep Iran’s atrocities under the Persian rug. Behind Iran’s smiling façade,
    President Rouhani and Ayatollah Khamenei continue to preach hatred and
    provoke hostility. The ink is barely dry on the interim nuclear agreement
    and Iran is already showing its true colors. This is a regime that crosses
    red lines, produces yellow cake, and beats its citizens black and blue.

    It doesn’t take a crime scene investigator to see Iran’s fingerprints on the
    violence erupting in parts of the Middle East."

    Seriously , you think that the (often foreign) armed theocrats raging an unjust war against you and against your nationals that even if they are against you are still fighting over a different perspective should be subjected to better treatment ?

    The above must have been a translation from Greek.

    50% of Arabs here enjoyed this thread with full satisfaction.
    The other half are sad but will not comment here.
    The Shia vs Sunni death party goes on.

    I am taking the time to respond to the above.
    Contrary to what has been misrepresented here/above Jewish kids learn to retaliate not necessary hate.
    They retaliate for the thousands of stone throwers against vehicles on the main hi ways...
    They retaliate for so many killings of Jews even babies murdered in prams...
    They retaliate for all the malevolent attacks, Bus bombings, Pizzeria bombings, Open market bombings, terrorist attacks during the day (stabbing), and slaughter of a whole family sleeping at night...

    Nooooooooooo!!! They are not taught hate but they learn how to roll with the blows, they learn how to avoid direct contact with knife totting Arab individuals and how to carry on living when the Arabs venerate death.

    I am against an independent Arab country in the heart of the little Jewish State of Israel.
    I prefer that the two people live separate for two generations or more, I would have preferred transfer of the Million and half irredentist Arabs to all and every Arab country and Muslim country of Europe their ancestors came from...

    I wish them well but not on account of Jewish casualties and blood... I am sure we will prevail.
