Civilians in opposition fighters' bases of Tartous are at risk of summary execution by pro-government forces.

Civilians in the vicinity of opposition fighters' bases in the governorate of Tartous are at risk of summary execution by pro-government forces, Amnesty International said
Following the deliberate killing of 13 members of the same family in the village of Al Baydah, the organization urges the Syrian government to immediately end all extrajudicial executions.
“The killing of 13 civilians from the same family, including women and children in one village is deplorable,” said Philip Luther, Amnesty International’s Middle East and North Africa Programme Director, in a briefing published on Friday.
The killings took place shortly after pro-government forces clashed with opposition fighters close to the family home.
The incident came three months after mass killings of more than 250 civilians last May in the same village and the nearby city of Banias.
Research carried out by Amnesty International into the incidents which took place on 2 and 3 May found that pro-government forces were behind the deaths of at least 138 killed in Banias and 130 in Al Baydah.
Amnesty International holds the Syrian authorities directly responsible for violations committed by government-sponsored armed groups and calls for all attacks on civilians to stop. (Al-Jazeera)
