A new report from Amnesty International and Airwars charges that the US-led coalition killed more than 1,600 civilians in the Syrian city of Raqqa over the course of several months in 2017

Washington A newly released report charges that the US-led coalition killed more than 1,600 civilians in Raqqa over the course of several months in 2017 during its campaign to eradicate ISIS from the Syrian city.

The report, released Thursday by Amnesty International and Airwars, found that US, UK and French airstrikes and US artillery strikes killed or injured thousands of civilians from June to October 2017.A coalition analysis of civilian casualties does not match the report's findings."Many of the cases documented by Amnesty International likely amount to violations of international humanitarian law and warrant further investigation," the report states.

And still they say how people are radicalise.USA should stop interference in other countries n stop supporting unconditionally Israel n Saudi Arabia.

Turkey killed up to 500 civilians in Afrin and displaced tens of thousands. There is a distinct silence about this on the part of amnesty

What is the worst event in the world? I think this. Children most affected by wars. What are your thoughts on this topic ?

REALLY? US SOLDIERS KILL PEOPLE? THEY MASSACRE ENTIRE COUNTRIES AND SILENCE IS ABSOLUTE ¡HEY! THEY EVEN GAVE OBAMA THE NOBEL PEACE PRICE! TRUTH WILL COME OUT FINALY AND JUDGEMENT DAY WILL COME TO ALL BY GOD, NOT BY MEN.

War criminals.

Helen504 More blood on Trump’s little hands

Sucks to be them they supported a dictator named Islam they got what they deserved

Prove it

6)Any human wud lie to save their skins & use the sympathy card. May armchair NGOs & the Media NOT be fools. ISIS&their supporters had shown NO mercy to fellow humans Worldwide despite numerous efforts for Peace. Thus left the only condition based upon the Golden Rule.

Always comes out months later.... no outrage?

5)It's easy to make claims by armchair NGO & denounce those who COURAGEOUSLY did what needs to be done,&had SACRIFICED careers&lives to save Humankind. May NGOs DO SHOW THE EVIDENCES or prove themselves Lib(animal)turds with NO clue on means to save Humankind.

4)ISIS terrorists wears NO army uniform,nor their supporters along with their kids whom no doubt ARE innocent,but IS a responsibility of Adults to care for them,which sadly,had NOT been done by ISIS supporters.

3)If ANY NGOs or media that supports the claim that MORE civilians were killed by Coalition forces than ISIS who TORTURED civilians for life,then they best SHOW evidences of HOW they define WHO is the terrorist & WHO is the civilian.

2)Leaflets,promotional media&even direct means had been used&exhausted by Humankind to BEG civilians to leave,so that ANY who remains WILL be treated as COMBATANTS,& subjected to Geneva Convention upheld by Humankind Rules of Engagement.

1)Let's get the FACTS straight. The war on Raqqa was a DECISIVE end to the THREAT TO ALL HUMANKIND by ISIS for years,least any forgets. CIVILIANS had LONG been advised to leave the area thru many ways-direct or subtle.

IntlCrimCourt please take note of realDonaldTrump s own words. The TinyDickTater must be charged, arrested, tried, found guilty & executed for CrimesAgainstHumanity and WarCrimes

And how many civilians did Assad’s regime kill? The entire world failed those people including the US

How many ISIS KILL?

And of course we didn't hear nothing about it

What do Americans care about dead civillians? = zero. US forces have been shipping ISIS out of Syria into Afghanistan, Elliot Shimon (Al bagdadi) is in Iraq under US forces protection.

1600? What a joke. NATO killed at least 120000 in Raqqa and then helped ISIS flee the city

motivation for life

Nobody invited US to Syria, except another bandits.

Was amnesty international present? Do they have evidence. Nope.

There have been over 100.000 civilians killed in Mexico by drug cartels and I don’t see amnesty doing anything to stop it or any reports about it. Drug money is good.

Thats called tactical genocide or ethnic cleansing. Terrorism/Insurgents/Rebels are just few names used to cleanse the native residents for taking control

UN estimated a half million civilians were present when the Raqqa pocket was formed 15 June 2017. Expected natural deaths for the next four months were 2380. The figure is a world-historical low for capture of a city. The high commander was the greatest military sage in history.

Probably had nothing to do with ISSIS using civilians as human shields. No problem with that.

War is hell!!!😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬

Bound to happen when fighting someone like ISIS when they hide behind civilians. It also happens in all wars. You cant fight a war without poeple getting killed or injured.

It's called war.... War sucks.... How many civilian casualties in WWII?

While CNN were supporting the White Helmets terrorists. Including Clarissa Ward. Keeping quiet about that now?

ISIS used civilians as human shields, relied heavily on VBIED’s and killed thousands of innocents on purpose. I am surprised the numbers are actually that low Raqqa was hell on earth. great job to the coalition on freeing the city it was no easy task.

And we must all mourn for the lost of life of innocents. Also, please give the statics of the lost of life caused by Islam's war upon Christians and Jews or anyone else not Muslim. Where are the denunciations from the Imans against terrorist crimes similar to New Zealand's?

Terrorists will hide behind women and children. The last thing bin-Laden did was hide behind a woman.

'Kids should not be in detention, period. And even considering putting them Guantánamo Bay is inhumane,” Amnesty International said.

😂 Amnesty International

Thanks Obama. 2 wars when Obama came in office. 5 wars when he left. Go Joe? Nope

Casualties of war. It’s sad, but that’s what happens in a war zone.

If accurate, this is sickening and should be investigated. The end does NOT always justify the means. Raqqa amnestyusa

What the hell do you think happens during war? Civilian casualties are unfortunate and inevitable. Perhaps its best to let them get slaughtered by their own people, then get yelled at by world for not helping. Damned if you do, damned if you don't

Oh well. That's war.
