Mass graves in Daraa

the town of Syrian revolts

Possible finding of 40 corpses, including the ones of women and children, in a mass grave in Daraa. So reported Radwan Ziadeh, activist of the Centre for human rights in Damascus.

The Syrian government, who denies the existence of this collective tomb, seized the witnesses' mobile ohones and prevented journalists from travelling in the Country. Nonetheless harrowing images of the massacre would have appeared on YouTube. The corpses would be decomposing, half-naked and even maimed.

After the spreading og the news, it was forbidden to people to seek their relatives, who according to pro-democracy activists would have been killed "by the fourth division of the army" run by the brother of President Assad. There would be 700 people missing after the troops entered Deraa on past 25 April to repress the wave of protests against the regime.
