This report is
the latest in our series on Syria. Today’s report deals with casualties for the
week ending 22 October 2012 and is in two parts:
1) NCF
Casualty estimates and
2) All
other Casualty estimates. The second half of this latter report is so extensive
that we have only included the summary here under the title “Casualties in more
detail”. The full background by region of Syria can be accessed on the NCF
Syria blog on the following link: FULL
CASUALTY FIGURES.
Casualties
– The NCF casualty estimates
In
an attempt to produce more a more accurate set of figures we have decided to
focus on those published by the Violations Documenting Centre (VDC) as this
source consistently publishes reports of identified casualties
(including names of victims), with only a handful unidentified.
Those killed
in the past week ending 22 October 2012
