Report: Syrian Rebels Execute Opponents, Threaten Kurds, Release Prisoners Including Toddlers

Syrian rebels who overthrew the dictatorship of Bashar al-Assad on Sunday, December 8, are reportedly executing their opponents, imposing Islamic sharia law, and threatening non-Muslim minorities, including the Kurdish population in the north.

Videos are circulating on social media showing Syrian rebels killing people associated with the regime - some of whom may have been part of the state security services, and others who appear to have been ordinary employees.

One video also shows thousands of smashed bottles of liquor at the duty-free store of the Damascus airport, where Islamist rebels apparently enforced the Islamic ban on alcohol by force, as Islamists did in Lebanon in the 1980s.

In addition, an American news outlet reported that fierce fighting was underway on Tuesday between the rebels supported by Turkey and U.S.-backed and Kurdish-led forces near Kobani, a town in northern Syria with historic and symbolic significance for American involvement in the region.

Meanwhile, Syrian rebels have also freed prisoners - including toddlers - from a notorious, jam-packed prison dubbed the “human slaughterhouse,” where the Assad regime allegedly used an “iron press’’ to pulverize bodies. The Saydnaya military prison, just outside Damascus, was emptied by insurgents over the weekend. (BB /VFI News)
