On Friday, the French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs, in a statement, revealed about documentations it obtained of possible crimes committed by Syrian government forces against the Syrian people.
The documentations include videos and photos that prove the government forces’ involvements in actions that “are likely to constitute the most serious international crimes, specifically crimes against humanity and war crimes.”
They provide evidence of atrocities committed by “pro-regime forces during the 2013 Tadamon massacre in Damascus,” according to the ministry.
Tadamon is a neighborhood in the Syrian capital of Damascus, where the massacre took place at hands of soldiers of the Syrian government who executed 41 people by throwing them into a hole prepared in advance after shooting them.
And they, then, set the bodies of the victims on fire by burning tires that had been previously placed at the bottom of the pit.
The Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs stressed that the “fight against impunity is a matter of justice for the victims and an essential prerequisite for building a lasting peace in Syria.”
The statement added, “France remains fully mobilized to ensure that those responsible are brought to justice.”
In May, the Guardian Reporter Martin Chulov published a report, revealing leaked footage of the Tadamon massacre.
In the footage, a Syrian intelligence officer is seen shooting blindfolded, unarmed civilians and piling their bodies in a mass grave.
Chulov told North Press that the video had the capability to stoke interest in what is happening in Syria and to prompt the international community to hold al-Assad government accountable.
