Press released regarding the continuous siege of Homs province.
Since the revolution was sparked almost 7 months ago, Homs has not been able to repose. Day in and day out, it has been offering martyrs, more than third of the total revolution martyrs, sacrificed for the freedom of Syria. The last several days have seen a major escalation by the regimes’ security forces, army and Shabbiha against the city residents aimed at extinguishing the burning embers of the revolution. The brutal military assault was no sooner finished in Rastan on October 3rd leaving more than 100 martyrs, 2000 detainees, unprecedented destruction of private properties and more thant half of the city residents evacuated, than the killing machine moved to Talbiseh. It subjected Talbiseh to suffocating siege, which resulted in severe shortage of medicines, food staples and other basic life necessities. The campaign was expanded to all town neighborhoods with more security and military checkpoints were set up which further humiliated the residents. The daily military and security assault was then escalated even further on residents of the governate, and its towns and villages. It impacted people’s well-being and interfered with the unity of the community by instigating sectarian strife by committing targeted assassination of prominent academic figures with marked social presence and kidnapping and hiding girls, killing under torture, arrests and raids on homes, intimidation and terrorizing innocent citizens.
Our activists managed to document names of 180 martyrs who fell in Homs during September and 73 names of martyrs who fell in the first 9 days of current October.
Yesterday (Sunday 9-10-2011) the city lived an atmosphere of true war as sounds of explosions were heard in all areas caused by bombs, rocket-propelled grenades, nail and stun grenades, accompanied by heavy shooting from all kinds of machine-guns and anti-aircraft weapons (Dushka and Shilka), many houses were partially destroyed in neighborhoods of Bab Sbaa, Nazeheen and Karm Zaitoon, resulting 9 matters and dozens of injuries many of them are in critical condition, security forces and shabiha prevented ambulance and Red Crescent cars from providing medical aid for people, which is what constitutes flagrant violation of all norms and relevant international conventions.
Local Coordination Committees in Syria considers this vicious attack at Homs another desperate attempt by the regime to kneel its free people and to put down there using all means for killing and oppression the regime has.
As Local Coordination Committees in Syria salutes the courage of our people in Homs and whole Syria and their steadfastness, sacrifice and determination to move firmly towards the goals of the revolution to topple the regime and establish a pluralistic democratic civilian regime, it appeals to the international community and civil organizations to move quickly to assume their responsibilities in order to condemn the crimes committed against humanity, and work seriously to pressure it to stop such crimes against the Syrian people aspiring for freedom, dignity and citizenship, and take the necessary measures to take its officials to international justice.
Victory of our revolution and compassion to our martyrs
