Syrian Coalition Condemns Alwaer Massacre as Rights Group Says Regime’s Barrel Bombing Still at Full Throttle

Syrian Coalition Condemns Alwaer Massacre as Rights Group Says Regime’s Barrel Bombing Still at Full Throttle

In response to the massacre regime forces committed in the Alwaer district of Homs on Wednesday, the Syrian Coalition stressed that it is imperative to activate the ceasefire monitoring mechanism, determine those responsible for the truce violations, and take action to ensure such violations are not repeated.

Assad’s militias committed a massacre claiming the lives of 11 civilians, including three children and three women in the besieged district of Alwaer in Homs on Wednesday. The district came under aerial and artillery bombardment that also left dozens wounded.

In a statement released on Thursday, the Coalition said that the Wednesday massacre in Alwaer violates the Turkish and Russian-backed ceasefire agreement.

The district was also previously subjected to violent airstrikes that targeted residential areas and left dozens of civilian casualties. The airstrikes also caused massive destruction to civilian homes.

“The Assad regime and its allies continue to pursue a criminal policy aimed at killing and displacing civilians and destroying the country without showing the slightest respect for the ceasefire agreement, thinking that these crimes can break the will of the Syrian people,” the Coalition said.

“The massacre in Alwaer district is added to the Assad regime’s endless litany of crimes against the Syrian people. This crime, along with the crimes recently exposed by Amnesty International’s report on the Saydnaya Prison and other reports documenting the regime’s crimes against the Syrian people, will eventually be referred to the International Criminal Court where those responsible will receive the punishment they deserve.”

Meanwhile, the Syrian Network for Human Rights on Thursday said that the regime’s helicopters dropped at least 634 barrel bombs on residential neighborhoods in the liberated areas during January. The Network stressed that the barrel bombing of rebel-held areas, including those covered by the truce, continued unabated in January. (Source: Syrian Coalition’s Media Office)

Preserving independence and national sovereignty and maintaining the Syrian people’s unity within the same Syrian soil
is one of the critical pillars of the Syrian Coalition. The Coalition aims to overthrow the Assad regime along with all its
symbols and pillars. It also aims to dismantle its security apparatus and hold accountable those involved in crimes
against Syrians. In addition, it seeks to achieve a transition to a pluralistic, democratic and civil Syria.
