US-led coalition 'killed 1,600 civilians' in Syria's Raqqa

Amnesty and Airwars say US, UK and French forces only admitted to 10 percent of killings.

The US-backed assault to drive the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) from its Syrian capital Raqqa in 2017 killed more than 1,600 civilians, a figure 10 times what the coalition has acknowledged, according to a new report.

The investigation, published by Amnesty International and the monitoring group Airwars on Thursday, urged top coalition members to "end almost two years of denial about the massive civilian death toll and destruction it unleashed in Raqqa".

Donatella Rovera, senior crisis response adviser at Amnesty, said, "Many of the air bombardments were inaccurate and tens of thousands of artillery strikes were indiscriminate."

"Coalition forces razed Raqqa, but they cannot erase the truth," she said.

I guess we're terrorists too.
 
Pick a side; SDF or ISIS.

"News came this week that the US backed Syrian Democratic Forces had finally liberated the city of Raqqa from the grip of ISIS. For the past three years the people trapped inside the oppressive ISIS regime suffered daily. Yet, reports of torture and assassination in the terrorized city did not come from traditional outlets. Rather, Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently, a band of citizen journalists led by Abdel Aziz al-Hamza, risked their lives to report the egregious conditions in a place that was notoriously difficult to enter or escape. Matthew Heineman followed this group in his new documentary, City of Ghosts. Bob speaks with Heineman and al-Hamza about their experiences in Raqqa and how these journalists found inspiration to continue their work."

When terrorists use innocent men, women and children as human shields, the consequences that accrue are all on the terrorists.

The US, UK and French forces are not terrorists.

ISIS is the terrorist group here.

I see brave women in the picture of the Syrian Democratic Forces.

How barbaric that women have to fight these animals in ISIS.

It's called 'Equality' Earl.

"The constitution has gained much international attention and is most noted for its explicit affirmation of minority rights and gender equality and a form of direct democracy known as 'democratic confederalism'.[4][5]"

What a slimy canard to apply to the killing of innocent civilians. You might have taken it directly from an SS officer as he ordered the cleansing of the Warsaw Ghetto.
At Nuremberg the guilty pleaded- ' We were only following orders ' . We executed them .

You're an ass, Earlp.

I wonder how many civilians were killed by the Russians and Iranians? Of course we'll never know because they don't allow journalists in.

Moron. Without Amnesty you wouldn't have a clue about the carnage inflicted by the 'West'. That's what the topic is, you twat.
 
Mainstream western media is honestly worse propaganda than PressTV or Russia Today. LOL. It's literally just a bunch of CIA and military press releases.
