The US on Monday (November 21st) named a dozen Syrian generals and officers accused of leading attacks on civilian targets and running torture prisons, warning they will one day face justice, AFP reported.
US Ambassador Samantha Power read out the names at a UN Security Council meeting on Syria, saying many of the military commanders were involved in killing civilians with assaults on schools, hospitals and homes.
"Today's atrocities are well-documented and the civilized world's memories are long," she said, listing a number of facilities where cases of torture have been documented since the outbreak of the war in 2011.
Among those named were five major generals -- Adib Salameh, Jawdat Salbi Mawas, Tahir Hamid Khalil, Jamil Hassan and Rafiq Shihadeh -- five brigadier generals and two colonels.
Samantha Powers!!!!!!!! One witnesses for his own benefit! Do you really expect these people, who are against the Assad's regime, to put on trial the ISIL members and those who fight against the Assad's regime???!!!
