Introduction and Citation:

This report covers the period from Sat 23-8-2014 until Fri 29-8-2014. However, it is worth point-

ing out the following:

1. Fatalities of the regime, the Army of National Defense (Shabiha), Lebanese Hizbullah, Iraqi and

Iranian Militias are not included in the reported death toll.

2. These gures are not nal in any way, and they are subject to continuous and periodic scrutiny

by centers activists, the data base administrators and the eld documentation team.

3. Figures may differ between reports, even within the same district, and this can be referred to the

territorial audit that would reveal places of errors and faults, as well as the continuous follow up to

identify undistinguished martyrs whenever they are identied.

in all the Syrian governorates, (398) of whom were documented by names, while (44) i.e.(10 %) of the
