THE PITCH BLACK DARKNESS ONLY MAKES IT WORSE - ASSAD’S FORCES SHELL THE CITY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. Homs (Al-Quseir): May 15, 2012 - There is no need for a visual, the sounds are terrifying enough. In the words of @HamaEcho “People sit in the dark and wait for their turn to die”
Thanks @HamaEcho
A FATHER IS SHOT THROUGH HIS HEART - HIS CHILD, A YOUNG BOY, IS SHOT THROUGH THE NECK BY ASSAD’S SNIPERS. Homs (Al-Quseir): May 13, 2012 - Suleiman Omar Al-Jaour was murdered along with his son by Assad’s mercenaries. He could do nothing to protect his young boy. Assad’s snipers set their scopes on both of them and fired - not at their head for an instant “merciful” death, but in their chests in order to prolong the pain and agony and to give the father just enough time to watch his son die, or the son jsut enough time to watch his father die.
The last thoughts and images these two innocents have on this Earth.
Thanks @HamaEcho
***LEAKED VIDEO*** ASSAD’S FORCES CASUALLY FILM THEMSELVES AND MAKE SMALL TALK AS THEY SHELL AND ATTACK THE TOWN. Homs (Quseir) - No, these men are not preparing to liberate the Golan Heights, they are casually shelling a small town of innocent and unarmed Syrians - their supposed brothers and sisters that Assad has successfully de-humanized in his propaganda campaign fed to his forces.
They are shelling the town of Quseir in preparation to invade. The tank you see firing a machine-gun is actually a Russian made “Shilka” anti-aircraft tank that can fire upto 1,000 rounds per minute. It’s meant to bring down fighter-jets, but in this case it’s used against human-beings. The other tanks are randomly shelling the town in order to “soften” it up for an all out invasion.
Notice how casual Assad’s forces are, laughing and joking and all eagerly filming the “action” as mementos…
Thanks @mou2amara
***TRAGIC*** THE FATHER OF THIS LITTLE GIRL WEEPS AT HER FEET - HOPING THAT DOCTORS CAN DO SOMETHING TO SAVE THE LIFE OF HIS DAUGHTER. Homs (Al-Quseir): Mar 28, 2012 - She was shot in the face by Assad’s snipers because she is a “Homsi” - a person from Homs. She cannot seek treatment at a local hospital since she was shot by Assad’s forces, by Assad’s law if you are injured by his mercenaries then it is illegal to seek treatment anywhere. Doctors are also forbidden to help the wounded. No matter if the victim is a small little girl.
I do not know if she survived or not. To quote one volunteer doctor interviewed many months ago “No one brought in here has ever survived a head wound - we dont have the capabilities to treat such wounds”

***HEART-BREAKING*** THIS IS THE FAMILY THAT ASSAD WILL HAVE TO FACE IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE! Homs (Qusier): Mar 6, 2012 - This family’s grief and wails of sorrow quickly turn to anger, acrimony and exasperation as they reveal the brutal scars of torture that killed him. Abdul Hakim Qarkouz was arrested by Assad’s security forces and then savagely tortured to death, he appears to be in his mid to late sixties - most likely a grandfather.
Assad will have to answer to these people for his crime against Syrians. He will have to face them before he faces God.
Thanks @ahmed
UNDER SHELLING AND IN FREEZING SNOW. YOU WILL NEVER CRUSH THE SPIRIT OF HOMS. NEVER. Homs (Quseir): Feb 29, 2012 - What more can I add? These men, women and children gather in the freezing cold to chant for freedom and solidarity with their besieged neighbors in Baba Amr. They have no electricity, water, heating, food, medicine or any other basic supplies.
But they can smell freedom.

THEY RALLY IN REMEMBRANCE OF MARIE COLVIN, REMI OCHLIEK AND RAMI AL SAYYED. Homs (Qusier) Feb 22, 2012 - The people of Homs give the two foreign journalists and their own local hero the same send-off and farewell the have given to the thousands of other martyrs murdered by Assad’s forces over the past 11 months.
May they rest in peace.
Thanks @ahmed
A LITTLE BOY CRIES IN PAIN AND FEAR AFTER SUFFERING A HEAD WOUND AT THE HAND OF ASSAD’S FORCES. Homs (Quseir) Feb 9, 2012 - Injured by Assad’s mercenary forces, this boy seeks treatment at a makeshift clinic in Homs. Bashar Al Assad has instructed his forces to not differentiate between man, woman or child as they embark on their campaign to kill as many Syrians as they can since Russia and China gave them the green light to do so.
