The Syrian Ministry of Interior confirmed the discovery of four mass graves on al-Sittin Street, north of Homs city, during excavation work conducted by local civilians. The graves reportedly contain the remains of dozens of individuals.
In a statement published on Telegram, the Ministry indicated that the relevant authorities have been notified and have begun investigations to conduct forensic examinations, record the details of the newly discovered graves, and verify the possible existence of additional burial sites.
Over recent months, Syrian authorities have uncovered several mass graves across different regions of the country, containing the remains of hundreds of individuals who were killed during the years of the revolution by the forces of the deposed regime and its allies. The Syrian Network for Human Rights has documented nearly 177,000 cases of enforced disappearance since March 2011.
