At least 220 bodies of people from Damascus and its countryside were identified mostly by leaked mass torture photos, according to activists and Damascus Media Center amid reports say the number can be increased.
The opposition-run center said 40 bodies were identified from Daraya, south-west outskirts of the Syrian capital, 31 from Dummar neighborhood, 30 from Zabadani town, 21 from al-Qadam neighborhood, 41 Palestinians from Yarmouk refugee camp, 13 from Kiswa town, 11 from Jdaidat Artouz town, 8 from Qatana, 2 from Qudsaiya, 5 from Mezzah, 2 from Tadamon, 1 from Esali and 1 from al-Midan.
The Syrian Network for Human Rights, in report issued last September, said at least 215,000 people were arrested by Syrian security since the revolution erupted in March 2011. (4,500 of them are women and 9,000 are less than 18).
According to the report, 2630 detainees were tortured to death, and 70,000 cases documented as enforced disappearance.
The atrocious photos of mass torture by Syrian security had been taken in the well-known 601 military hospital in Mezzah neighborhood of Damascus.
Zaman al-Wasl published hundreds of photos of mass torture that illustrate apparent actions of serious international crimes committed in the chambers of security services against 11,000 detainees, according to human rights advocates.
“Crime of The Century’ photos are linked to war crime report made last year by a team of internationally recognized war crimes prosecutors and forensic experts.
Syria is not a member of the International Criminal Court. The only way the court could prosecute someone from Syria would be through a referral from the United Nations Security Council.
Meanwhile, at least 220,000 people have been killed in Syria's conflict; more than double the figure documented a year ago and probably still an under-estimate, according to the United Nations.
