Syria Newspaper Calls for Releasing Clips of Regime Massacre in Tadhamun

Zaman AlWasl newspaper has called on Syrian nationals and Palestinian refugees who caught sight of one of their relatives or acquaintances in the leaked footage of the Tadhamun massacre, committed by the Syrian regime, to write to the newspaper.

Zaman AlWasl said it has been exerting pressure on NIOD Institute to release the remaining 25 clips of the footage.

It accused NIOD and Amsterdam University of withholding the video which holds the Syrian regime responsible for the crime.

The daily added that the withdrawn clips identify 250 victims that were horrifically massacred by the Syrian regime.

In late April this year, the Guardian published an investigation with footage showing a massacre taking place in Tadamon, near Syria’s capital Damascus, in April 2013, and claiming the lives of 41 people, including three Palestinian refugees.

The three refugees are Wasim Omar Seyam, Sa’id Ahmad Khatab, Abd Luay AlKubra, residents of Yarmouk Camp, south of Damascus.

Informed sources told AGPS that Wasim Seyam, born in 1980 and a graduate of the Teacher Training Institute in Damascus, was arrested in 2013 by Syrian security forces deployed on Nisreen Street, while on his way out of Yarmouk Camp to fetch flour for his starved family.

Sa’id, also a resident of Yarmouk Camp, is the grandson of Sai’d Khattab, who was killed in Ein Zaytoun massacre along 79 residents of the village, by Zionist militias.

The piece published by the Guardian was called “Massacre in Tadamon: how two academics hunted down a Syrian war criminal,” and written by Middle East correspondent Martin Chulov.

Tadamon is a suburb south of Damascus. It was there that groups of civilians were rounded up, sent towards an execution pit, and shot dead.

The British newspaper reported that the mass grave contained at least 41 bodies following the massacre. The bodies were then doused with fuel and set alight.

In the video footage, soldiers could be heard laughing.

The massacre took place just a few miles from Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s seat of power.

The footage was recorded by a new recruit to a loyalist militia, who leaked it first to an opposition activist in France and then to two researchers: Annsar Shahhoud and Prof. Ugur Umit Ungor of the University of Amsterdam’s Holocaust and Genocide Center.
