    Introduction

    Not a day goes by without the Syrian regime committing grave human rights abuses

    in different cities and areas of Syria. The Syrian regime has always been known to be

    among the worst in human rights abuses, but the nature, brutality, and frequency ofthese abuses have taken a new turn since the beginning of the Syrian Revolution last

    March. Thus, the Human Rights Council of the United Nations considers the regimes

    practices crimes against humanity.

    In this recurring report produced by the Local Coordination Committees in Syria

    (LCC), we document several of these abuses in the period of time covered by the file.

    The abuses are also classified by the severity and brutality of the abuses, as well as

    their geographical locations.

    The information in these reports is derived from cases documented by the LCCs

    legal and media team, who base their information from activists on the ground. The

    information is either cross-referenced from multiple sources to ensure its integrity,or drawn directly from the families of victims.

    The statistics for the martyr count come from the Center for Documenting Abuses in

    Syria (www.vdc-sy.org), whose database is constantly verified and updated by the

    Centers activists.

    The Local Coordination Committees thank the colleagues who worked on this

    recurring file, and welcome any notes or suggestions through their official email.
