More than 1,400 people were killed in sectarian violence in Syria's coastal regions earlier this year, particularly in the Alawite region. A government committee investigating the attacks found that 298 suspects were involved. Despite the large number of deaths, there was no evidence to suggest that Syrian military leadership ordered the assaults. The committee documented various serious violations, including murder, torture, and looting. The report confirmed 1,426 dead, predominantly Alawite civilians, with many more unverified fatalities.
The investigation documented serious violations against civilians on March 7, 8 and 9, including murder, premeditated murder, looting, destruction and burning of homes, torture and sectarian insults.
A government committee identified 298 suspects implicated in serious violations during violence in Syria's Alawite heartland, with the committee stating there was no evidence that military leadership ordered attacks.
