FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda On Tuesday, OHCHR Spokesman Rupert Colville said in Geneva that most of the victims in Taldo, an area of Houla, “were summarily executed in two separate incidents,” AFP reported.
“What is very clear is that this was an absolutely abominable event that happened in Houla and at least a substantial part of it was summary executions of civilians, including women and children,” said Colville, adding that the victims “were shot in their houses.”
His comments echo those of the Syrian government, which blames armed terrorist groups for the murders.
Over 100 civilians were killed in a massacre in the western town of Houla on May 25.
After meeting with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in Damascus on Tuesday, joint UN-Arab League envoy Kofi Annan thanked the Syrian government for cooperating with international observers and referred to the Syrian government’s investigation into Friday’s attack as “very encouraging.”
During the meeting, Assad also called for an end to the terrorist activities in Syria, saying Annan’s peace plan will be successful if weapons smuggling and terrorism is contained.
On Sunday, May 27, the head of the UN observer mission in Syria, Major General Robert Mood, said during a briefing via videoconference to the UN Security Council that UN observers in Houla estimate that 108 people were killed, including 49 children and 34 women.
The UN Security Council condemned the violence in Houla during an emergency meeting on Sunday, saying the clashes “involved a series of government artillery and tank shelling on a residential neighborhood.”
However, Syrian Ambassador to the UN Bashar Ja’afari censured the “tsunami of lies” by some members of the Security Council and said Syrian forces were not to blame for the violence.
The clashes between Syrian forces and armed groups broke out despite a ceasefire that took effect on April 12.
The ceasefire is part of a six-point peace plan presented by UN-Arab League envoy Kofi Annan in March.
