"The Syrian authorities must carry out a prompt, impartial investigation into reports that a number of bodies were unearthed near the city of Dera’a and into how those deaths occurred, Amnesty International said today.
Sources have told Amnesty International that local residents on the outskirts of the southern city of Dera’a yesterday found a shallow, unmarked grave containing the bodies of at least five people – said to be 'Abd al-Razaq Abazaid and his four sons, Samer, Samir, Suliman and Mohamed Abazaid.
The circumstances of the deaths and the total number of corpses remain unclear – some reports allege more than two dozen bodies have been found.
“If true, these reports of multiple corpses buried in a makeshift grave show an appalling disregard for humanity,”[That perfectly describes the bloody Syrian regime.] said Malcolm Smart, Amnesty International's Middle East and North Africa Director.
“The Syrian authorities must immediately carry out independent and impartial investigations into these reports and other killings related to the recent pro-reform protests.”
“Anyone found to be responsible for unlawful killings, torture and other human rights violations must be brought to justice in fair trials.”
Amnesty International has compiled a list of at least 622 people killed by Syrian security forces around the country since pro-reform protests began in mid-March....."
