The Guardian published an investigation on Thursday 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.<\/span><\/p>\n

The three refugees are Wasim Omar Seyam, Sa’id Ahmad Khatab, Abd Luay AlKubra, residents of Yarmouk Camp, south of Damascus.<\/span><\/p>\n

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.<\/span><\/p>\n

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.<\/span><\/p>\n

The piece published by the Guardian was called \u201cMassacre in Tadamon: how two academics hunted down a Syrian war criminal,\u201dand written by Middle East correspondent Martin Chulov.<\/span><\/p>\n

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.<\/span><\/p>\n

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.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the video footage, soldiers could be heard laughing.<\/span><\/p>\n

The massacre took place just a few miles from Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s seat of power.<\/span><\/p>\n

Chulov said the footage is \u201cone of the most indictable videos from the whole Syrian conflict” and \u201cgives us a glimpse into a previously untold part of the 10-year war.\u201d\u009d<\/span><\/p>\n

The massacre was carried out by Branch 227 of Syria’s military intelligence, the Guardian reported.<\/span><\/p>\n

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.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
