In death, a 13-year-old becomes a symbol of Syrian opposition after being tortured.

Disgusting.

The translation of the voice below the macabre YouTube video clip reads, "Look at the bruises on his face along with his broken neck." The clip is a two and a half minute gruesome catalogue of wounds on a 13-year-old child's body.
On April 29, demonstrators from villages surrounding Daraa, Syria, marched on the city in an attempt to break the Syrian military siege there. Their intent was to bring in much-needed supplies, including milk for babies and crucial medicines. At the time, the crackdown on Daraa was so intense eyewitnesses spoke of bodies bloating in the streets and the injured being treated at makeshift secret clinics to avoid detection by the Syrian security forces.

Among them, says his family, was Hamza. He got separated from his father in the chaos.

A month later, the family received his body. The video was taken at that time by a relative, the family says.

Much of the video of the child's corpse is too graphic to broadcast. His face is bloated and purple. His body is covered in bruises. There are gunshot wounds to his torso and his genitals are mutilated.
The video on youtube is very graphic.

A second Syrian teen tortured and murdered by the Syrians

June 09, 2011|From Arwa Damon, CNN

A second Syrian teenager has been returned to his parents -- lifeless, battered and, according to activists, a victim of torture.

A video released Thursday by activists includes a woman wailing as a body is unwrapped at the hospital in Daraa.

"My son, it's my son," the voice cries out. "This scar here, I swear its my son, I stitched this cut on him when he was little."

The boy was identified as Tamer Mohammed al Sharey, 15, who disappeared after an April 29 demonstration.

The Syrians I've been talking to say that the strife is limited to certain areas, based on demographics/tribal/religion. They still want the government out, but they've cut out most communications from the outside world and its hard for the locals to organize.

Is that the condemnation you have been promising grog? Was it too hard for you to say how horrible it is that the Syrian government has killed well over a thousand of its own or did you use up all of your words of condemnation on Israel?


Even the Turkish IHH, the group responsible for the flotilla last year, have declared that the Syrian problem is a much higher priority than Gaza.
