Torture Routine in Syria

UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Navi Pillay, said torture was routinely used in Syria while condemning the violence in Syria in a paper released by the High Commissioner’s office.

While government forces, opposition forces, and various other armed groups blame each other for ongoing violence that so far has claimed 150,000 lives, many, including women and children, are being tortured.

Unrest in Syria has created a safe haven for many terrorist groups to carry out inhumane acts. It takes a great deal of either ignorance or apathy from the international community to allow torture to become routine. All who engage in torture, violence and targeted killings must be punished. It will take an international effort in the case of Syria since fighters from 70 countries are present.

SWR commends Navi Pillay for her statement and hopes more leaders will take action and talk about the extreme violence in Syria.
