In mid-January, HRC said government forces removed dozens of women traveling to work or school.
Doing so, it said, "was to coerce (their) family members, some of whom were ostensibly fighting with anti-Government armed groups, to surrender.""Multiple accounts alleged that the detained women were sexually abused."
"Other interviewees (alleged) torture in" Damascus detention centers.
No evidence whatever corroborates HRC claims. It largely whitewashes anti-government forces' crimes. It did so in previous reports. They point fingers the wrong way. It's done to please Washington.
Assad's wrongfully blamed for death squad massacres and other atrocities. Spurious accusations include the following:
"The brutality of the civil war in Syria has been amplified by the perpetration of massacres.""According to 'corroborated' reports, Government forces executed between 52 and 90 prisoners, detained due to their affiliation to the opposition, in a makeshift prison in a former cultural center in Maarat Al Numan, Idlib, in October 2012."
"The mass killing of detainees took place in the context of an assault by Free Syrian Army fighters on Maarat Al Numan."
