Violations against Media Activists duringMarch, 2014
With every day goes by, new violations are being documented against media activistsregardless of the party that committed these violations. Media work has become one of themost dangerous professions in Syria, especially with the rapid escalation of the armedconflict over the past three years, and the increasing width of the conflict grounds.
Although the Syrian regime is still the most party, in quantity and kind, to commit violationsagainst media activists, this does not change that fact that there are other armed groups thathave committed similar acts (whether it supports the Syrian regime such as PYD, Al-Qaeda-affiliated groups such as ISIL, or other armed groups). These violations are spreading more

← Targeting a line of four thousand people
with the time, and representing a notable and serious obstacle to the free independent mediawork.
We would like to mention that these crimes have become less over the past two months(February and March 2014), particularly after the ISIS’s withdrawal from several regions andcentralizing in Ar-Raqqa and few towns in Aleppo countryside, still this can be considered apositive indicator apparently for several reasons that we listed in previous reports, howeverwe will list the most significant reasons as a remainder:
Most of the media activists have left the regions controlled by the armed groups, especiallyISIS-held regions.
Quitting media work and choosing the silence option after the difficult price that was to bepaid, which was in some cases death or abduction (there are still tens of abducted mediaactivists, in addition to the many that have been killed such as Mohammad As-Saeed,DyabHajoula, and others).
Some of the media activists had to join some armed factions and work for them in order togain protection, this of course had its negative impact on the independent media work.
The researcher in media affairs at SNHR Huda Al-Ali says:
”it’s critical for any form of free and independent media to grow and develop away from theleverage of weapon and violence, so it can play its role as one of the civil societyorganizations in addition to the important role that it supposed to play in the ongoing Syrianconflict of collecting and sending information, and contributing in documenting theviolations and crimes of all the conflict parties impartially, accurately, and honestly. This is thehealthy environment that the Syrian media scene are lacking today”.
SNHR affirms that it condemns all the violation against any form of media work and truth-revealing by any part however the kind or magnitude was, also SNHR is seeking to ask all theparties to respect media work and work on insuring the safety of those who works in themedia field, and to hold anyone involved in the violations against journalists and mediaactivists accountable. Additionally SNHR emphasizes the necessity of serious actions on thecivil society organizations’ part to apply pressure on the Syrian government and armedgroups and to stop it using proper means.
