Syria: 60,000 Deaths And Half A Million Refugees

Intervention induced conflict in Syria is overwhelmed with death – 60,000, and refugees – half a million. The Syrian interventionists claim it can make chemical weapons.

A Geneva datelined Reuters report on January 2 said:

At least 60,000 people have died in Syria’s conflict, UN Human Rights Commissioner Navi Pillay said on January 2, 2013 citing an “exhaustive” UN-commissioned study.

Over five months of analysis, researchers cross-referenced seven sources to compile a list of 59,648 individuals reported killed between March 15, 2011, and Nov. 30, 2012.

“Given there has been no let-up in the conflict since the end of November, we can assume that more than 60,000 people have been killed by the beginning of 2013,” Pillay said. “The number of casualties is much higher than we expected, and is truly shocking.”
