    Period covered: since the beginning of revolution to the date of issue

    Introduction Details Attachment and annexes Legal conclusions Responsibilities Recommendations

    Introduction:

    Syrian Government and its representatives do not stop their allegation that they

    are fighting terrorism and AL-Qaeda, but those allegation easily collapse when

    we talk about the systematic violations against civil society leaders, media

    activists, and popular movements' leaders; the most prominent of them are

    university students who have been arrested, tortured to death, and expelled

    from university, they form the vast majority of detainees, it explains why

    undemocratic voices have arisen and spread recently, as the Syrian Regime

    planned by arresting and killing the real leaders of Syrian Popular Movement.

    At the beginning we have to refer to strategic and active role played by

    university students in Syrian Popular Movement, where they participated in

    demonstrations, most of media activists, paramedics and physicians are

    university students, and because of their activities and attitudes Syrian regime

    focused on them, where according to our estimations at least 35.000 students

    (male and female) have been arrested in Syrian Regime's Prisons.

    When the struggle against Syrian Regime turned into an armed struggle,hundreds of them turned into fighters in Free Syrian Army and killed in battles.

    2/20

    Government Forces suppressed the revolutionary movement and pursued

    university students' activists across the so-called "National Union of Syrian

    Students", which is an institution of Al-Baath party supervised by Ammar

    Saati, and includes university students have been recruited as informants in

    spite of security forces' elements and Shabiha who are not university studentsbut their mission is to watch, suppress, and penetrate activists' ranks.

    There are also few professor have been recruited to spy on the students, they

    played basic role in suppressing the students, by taking photos for the students

    and giving them to security branches and National Union of Syrian Students,

    where it led to arrest them and expelled them from universities.

    In contrast, there were many honorable professors, who stood by the students in

    the revolutionary movement, defended on them, and exposed themselves to be

    beaten, humiliated and expulsion from university.

    Several committees and coordinations have been formed to organize the

    revolutionary role of university students and document the daily violations

    against them and follow their affairs after expulsions from universities, most

    prominent is Union of Free Syrian Students, in addition to another groupings

    and formations, who made great effort to protect and care the students outside

    and outside Syria.

    ===================================

    Four th: break in to the campus and arr est demonstrators' students inside.

    Government forces ruthlessly, systematically and widely suppress university

    students in all of the Syrian Governorate, which indicate that this is central

    decision, we will provide examples from all the governorate especially Aleppo

    University that tops all Syrian Universities with its outstanding students'

    mobility.

    We would like to indicate that the intensive existence to intelligence elements

    and Shabiha inside the campus to restrict the freedom of the students and

    monitor their actions and words carefully and strictly.

    Samar female student in Aleppo University, she told us on the events of 15 and

    16 January 2012

    "Intensive existence of security and Shabiha, they had lists for wanted students,

    each students enter the university they take his identity and compare with their

    lists"

    "The next day students demonstrated condemning the terrible acts of security

    forces and Shabiha, after a while dozens of Shabiha and security forces broke

    into University City, they beat many students especially in buildings 11 and 12,

    then they evacuate buildings 16,18,19 allocated for female students, I got news

    about rapes happened there, dozens of students got hurts and so many arrested,

    many students transferred to emergency they were suffering from critical

    injuries and fractures, after that university management issued an expulsion

    decree of large number of students cause of these demonstrations."

    5/20

    SNHR recorded many cases where supervisors and professors contributed in

    intelligence operations, and in suppressing and insulting university students

    As an example of that: Professor Jamal Hamdosh: head of Mathematics

    Department in Aleppo College of Science contributed in raising intelligence

    reports on the students, he also assaulted female student with his hand in front

    of hundreds of eyewitnesses in 19/1/2012, Syrian government doesn't only

    recruit Shabiha and security forces, but also teaching stuff as well.

    ==============================

    Fif th: Destroy university bui ldings and turn some headquarters to mil itary

    barracks.

    Government forces committed wide sabotage operation during random shellingand even deliberate shelling as shelling Aleppo University building by missiles,

    shelling faculty of architectural in Damascus, and during raids of many

    universities where anti-government demonstrations happened.

    Basel a dental student from Aleppo University told us how security forces and

    Shabiha brutally broke and sabotage the university.

    "When the demonstration ended, students flee from security forces and Shabiha

    into the campus, they caught on of our colleague and brutally attacked him, so

    we made a site-inside the faculty and wore our medical gowns, and started

    exclaim: we want the detainees, they got crazy and tried to raid the building,

    but they couldn't cause the door was closed, so they broke the windows and

    came in from another door, they randomly smashed the contents of the

    building, arrested another student inside faculty of Medicine and brutally and

    en masse beat him"

    Some universities also turned into military barracks contain tanks, armored

    vehicles, soldiers and Shabiha

    As an example Faculty of petrochemical engineering in Homs University:

    The following video from inside the faculty:

    6/20

    ===================================Sixth: exploit universi ty students in pro-government marches and suspend

    their lectures.

    Government forces forced university students to go in marches pro to Bashar

    Alassad and put his photos, and threatened them with expulsion, arrest and

    torture.

    Samer: a student in University of Aleppo told us how government forces and

    Shabiha raided his room inside university housing and took him with thousands

    of his colleagues to march pro to Bashar Alassad.

    "I was studding in my room in university housing, we knew a day before that

    Syrian Government want to organize march to support President Bashar, but Ididn't want to go, I have examination the next day, although I heard a noise

    inside the building I kept studding, suddenly after almost 20 minutes the door

    knocked out violently, when I opened I saw soldiers of Army filling corridors

    and searching rooms one by one, they started insulting and cursing me because

    I was late, when I told them that I was studding , they beat me and cursed me,

    and took us by force to the march square".

    ===================================Legal Conclusions:

    International Human Rights law strictly prohibited Right Not to be Arbitrarily

    Deprived of Life; that's mean restrict the governmental authorities from

    arbitrary execution : "the killing of a person perpetrated by an agent of thestate or any other person acting under Government authority"

    International Humanitarian Law prohibited direct attack against civilians in

    both international and non-international armed conflicts, these violations

    subject to prosecution according to IHL and including International Criminal

    Court.

    The willful attacking on civilian buildings devoted to religious, education, art,

    science, or charitable purposes, and historic monuments, is considered a war

    crime according to the Rome Statute.

    Torture during armed conflict is a violation of international humanitarian law

    as a violation of international criminal law. Do not allow limitations on the

    prohibition of torture. International humanitarian law and frankly prohibits

    torture and cruel treatment of people who are not taking part in hostilities.

    Rape is a war crime according to the Rome Statute, as well as could constitute

    a crime against humanity if it is part of a widespread or systematic attack on a

    civilian population.

    Article 9 of International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights prohibited

    arbitrary arrest or detention:" No one shall be subjected to arbitrary arrest or

    detention. No one shall be deprived of his liberty except on such grounds and

    in accordance with such procedure as are established by law''

    "Anyone arrested or detained on a criminal charge shall be brought promptly

    before a judge or other officer authorized by law to exercise judicial power andshall be entitled to trial within a reasonable time or to release. It shall not be the

    general rule that persons awaiting trial shall be detained in custody, but release

    may be subject to guarantees to appear for trial, at any other stage of the

    judicial proceedings, and, should occasion arise, for execution of the

    judgment".

    "Anyone who is deprived of his liberty by arrest or detention shall be entitled

    to take proceedings before a court, in order that that court may decide without

    delay on the lawfulness of his detention and order his release if the detention is

    not lawful"

    "Imprisonment or severe deprivation of physical liberty in violation of of

    fundamental rules of international law" and the practice of enforced

    disappearances per se, as crime against humanity: when committed as part of a

    widespread or systematic attack directed against any civilian population, with

    knowledge of the attack .

    Based on the forgoing we conclude with no doubt that Government Forces and

    Shabiha committed widespread and systematic attack in all of the Syrian

    Governorates various crimes against university students such as unlawful

    killings and killings under torture, arbitrary arrest, enforced disappearance,

    which considered as crimes against humanity,

    They also practiced looting, sabotage and turning university buildings into

    military barracks, which considered as a various types of war crimes committedunder a non-international armed conflict.

    The size and nature of the attacks on universities in different governorates, and

    the excessive force used constantly, in addition to coordinated nature of the

    attacks, led to fully convince that it was pursuant to the policy of the state.

    Recommendations:

    1- Immediate stop of all human rights violations2- Respect its international obligations of Protection Civilian in Time of
