Both martyrs are from Ayn Al-Taqa village located near Qalaat Al-Madiaq town. They were killed by the bullets of security and Shabiha (regime-sponsored gangs) while bringing food to their families in the morning. After killing the 2 men, the murderers hanged and disfigure the 2 bodies, as it clearly shows on Haitham’s body which was handed over to his family today, while the 2nd martyr’s body is still unreleased.

3. Muhammad Al-Sabbagh, a taxi driver from Hama city, he was killed while on Tal-Kalkh road.


- Hama city:

Around 9 PM, sounds of several explosions were heard in the city, 2 of them at the roundabout of Bab Trablus- the checkpoint-barricade of the Westside carage (Al-Karaj Al-Garbi).

A demonstration held in Bab Qebli after nighttime prayer was joined by another from Al-Taawoniya neighborhood and Al-Wadi area, the demonstration was podcasted live on Al-Jazeera. Other large demonstrations issued in the neighborhoods of Al-Hamidiya and Al-Qusour.


- Rural Hama:

For days now, security and Shabiha have not stopped their vicious campaign on rural Hama, still many demonstrations were held demanding freedom and the overthrowing of the regime.



- Sahl Al-Ghab:

The army and security forces stormed, today’s morning, the 2 towns of Hayalin and Kernaz. They fired randomly to terrorize locals. Before withdrawing they set up hidden checkpoints-barricades at the entrances of the 2 towns. Note that the internet has been cut off for few days from most of the towns and villages in Sahl Al-Ghab, so we are still unable to get any video clips of the savage crimes committed by regime forces there.



- Qalaat Al-Madiaq:

Regime forces conducted a military campaign on the town, randomly machine-gunning unarmed civilians.



- Hayalin:

The town is turned into a prison as the army and Shabiha encircle the town. Large numbers of weaponry and regime forces’ elements are spread in the agricultural lands surrounding the town. They are making trenches and pits to station military weaponry in them.

Electricity is cut off from the entire town. Checkpoints-barricades are set up at the entrances. And just as if the town is another regime’s prison; very strong illuminating floodlights are installed and directed at the residential homes which have no electricity. The internet and telephone communications are still cut off from the town since the beginning of the campaign several days ago.


- Qamhana:

Shaibha gangs in the town, led by Abu Jafar (Haitham Abdul-Razaq Al-Umar), publically and at gunpoint, abducted young men from the village and handed them over to security, the detainees names are:
Hassan Ahmed Al-Abdul-Rahman (Al-Jadah), note that his father has been detained for 50 days.
Majd Adnan Al-Abdul-Rahman (Al-Jadah)
Yasin Muhammad Al-Abdul-Rahman
Ahmed Al-Umar

Please note that Abu Jafar and his group have been less active in their gang-related activities since a month ago or so, during which he was trying to win the village people over, then around 10 days ago, he went back to being worse than before, with the support of security and given broad powers.


- Khattab:

There was dense flight- activity by military aircraft over the town.

A large demonstration was held during the funeral procession of child and martyr Dima Abdul-Satar Al-Sheikh Bakkour, the 15 years old girl was killed by security and Shabiha.
