| 2014-01-31 |
| [SMH.AU] Syrian government forces using bulldozers and explosives razed thousands of homes in rebel areas of the country - an area equivalent to about 200 soccer fields, according to a report by Human Rights Watch ... dedicated to bitching about human rights violations around the world... . Many of the demolished buildings were apartment blocks several stories high, some with as many as eight levels, covering a total area of at least 145 hectares, the New York-based organization said in a report today titled Razed to the Ground: Syria's Unlawful Neighborhood Demolitions. Satellite photos released by the organization showed inhabited areas in Damascus and Hama reduced to rubble, some in the space of a month. "In some areas, the entire neighbourhood has been flattened, it disappeared as if it never even existed," Ole Solvang, emergencies researcher at Human Rights Watch, said in an interview. The destruction is not a consequence of fighting, "We can tell from the satellite imagery that it is systematic and complete," he said. |
