Security forces also "clashed with an armed terrorist group that was attacking families at Dir Sunbul, Kuhof and the surrounding areas in Jabal al-Zawya, Idleb, killing and injuring a number of criminals."

UN Human Rights Council Backs Pro-Western Version of Events in Syria

On March 23, voting in lockstep with Washington, rogue NATO partners, and regional Arab League allies, the UN Human Rights Council (HRC) blamed Assad for killer gang violence, saying it:

"expresses profound concern about the commission's findings that Government forces have committed widespread, systematic and gross human rights violations that may amount to crimes against humanity with the apparent knowledge and consent of the highest levels of the State;"

"condemns in the strongest terms the sharply escalating widespread, systematic and gross violations of human rights and fundamental freedoms perpetrated by the Syrian authorities, such as arbitrary executions, excessive use of force and the killing and persecution of protesters, refugees, human rights defenders and journalists, including recent deaths of Syrian and foreign journalists, arbitrary detention, enforced disappearances, torture and ill-treatment, including of adolescents and children;"

"also condemns the attacks against civilians in cities and villages across the country, including the artillery bombardments of residential areas;" and

"demands that the Syrian authorities meet their responsibility to protect their population."
