Mass Syria regime looting of homes revealed in explosive new report

[NEWARAB] As the Syrian regime retook the Damascus suburb of Harasta, one soldier from the elite Tiger Forces proudly proclaimed his intentions for the former opposition stronghold.

"Everyone is stealing, looting, not leaving anything... with God’s help, nothing will remain," he tells the camera.

During the same operation, numerous videos were shot showing mobs of uniformed and plain-clothed men stripping vacated homes of all their belongings, with washing machines, furniture, and even steel facades piled onto the back of trucks and military vehicles before they departed town.

"Farewell to Harasta," one soldier taunted the survivors in a video showing part of a convoy of military and civilian vehicles, some loaded with household items, leaving the neighbourhood. "This is how looting is done."

Such admissions are frequent in an explosive new report revealed by the Syria Justice and Accountability Centre, presenting evidence of widespread pillaging by regime soldiers as they 'liberated' rebel towns and suburbs.
