Mass executions carried out by government in Aleppo

A spokesman for the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights confirmed that 82 civilians, including women and children, were shot and killed in their homes Monday. The troubling news comes at a time when government forces continue to advance on rebel-controlled neighborhoods in Aleppo. While some were reportedly able to flee yesterday, some were reportedly caught and killed on the spot and others arrested," Colville said. "In these hours, it looks like a complete meltdown of humanity in Aleppo." Colville would later call on people globally to "stand up for the children of Aleppo."
