At least one hundred thousand civilians have been killed and thousands have been arrested during the crackdown by Syrian security forces against demonstrations taking place since March, denounced the Syrian human rights organization Sawasiah. The organization, founded by the jailed human rights lawyer Mohannad al-Hassani, said most of the fatalities occurred in Hauran region in the south of the country where the revolt began to demand democratic reforms.
He explained that the death toll rose sharply due to the protests grew in number and extend from the south, prompting a military crackdown. Sawasiah claimed to have information about other 200 civilian deaths, but has no names, Arab media reported the Israeli daily Haaretz. The death toll released by the organization because it can not be confirmed by independent sources because of the restrictions imposed by the Syrian authorities to the international media.
The Syrian authorities have blamed most of the deaths to "armed saboteurs' Islamic backed by foreign powers. Syria protests began on March 18 to demand political reform and the resignation of President Bashar al Assad, who took power when his father died in 2000 after having ruled Syria for 30 years.
The expression is severely repressed by the authorities, who have deployed the Army in different parts of the country, including in Dera and the suburb of Doura, in Damascus, according to the opposition network 'Sham'.
