Mass burials of tortured Syrians found in Aleppo

Mass graves of torture victims have been uncovered in liberated Aleppo, Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov said.

"Mass burial sites of many dozens of Syrians, who had been subjected to brutal torture and murdered, have been found. In many cases, body parts are missing; most victims had been shot in the head. And this, it seems, is only the beginning," Sputnik cited him as saying.   Konashenkov said that the instances are being recorded as serious war crimes and will be given maximum publicity "so that European backers of the so-called opposition in London and Paris are well aware of who their wards actually are".    He added that seven large ammunition depots, enough to arm several infantry battalions, were discovered in Aleppo.
