人權觀察：敘利亞政府軍非法襲擊平民

Human Rights Watch says Syria is carrying out "unlawful" deliberate and indiscriminate attacks against civilians, and is urging the international community to pressure the government to stop.

The group released a report Thursday describing 59 air strikes in opposition areas of Aleppo, Idlib and Latakia between August and December last year. Human Rights Watch says those attacks - some hitting bakeries and hospitals killed 152 civilians, and appear to be part of a systematic campaign that amounts to crimes against humanity.

The report says the air strikes included the use of unguided bombs, fighter jets and high-flying helicopters without the ability to tell the difference between civilians and combatants on the ground.

Additionally, Human Rights Watch says four Syrian Air Force defectors told the group that they lacked the technology to "identify and target specific military objectives in urban areas."人權觀察說，敘利亞蓄意對平民進行“非法”的、不加區別的襲擊。該組織敦促國際社會向敘利亞政府施加壓力，停止這種行爲。

人權觀察星期四發表一份報告，列舉了敘利亞政府軍於去年8月至12月對反對派控制地區阿勒頗、伊德利卜以及拉塔基亞發動的59次空襲。人權觀察說，包括針對麪包店和醫院的空襲共導致152人死亡，看來這種空襲是一個有計劃活動的組成部分，而這種行爲等同於反人類罪行。

人權觀察的報告說，這些空襲包括使用了無制導炸彈、戰機以及高空飛行直升機，空襲時無法區別地面上的平民和戰鬥人員。

人權觀察還說，四名倒戈的敘利亞空軍軍人對該組織說，他們不具備“在城市地區確認並打擊特定軍事目標”的技術。
