Syrian Opposition Death Toll Claim: Thousands Dead, Zero Verifiable Sources

We do not know who these people are,” she said.We do not know who has been killed, and we do not know who has killed them. There are 17,000 armed men, according to a report from the Institute for Strategic Studies, which is based in London,” the researcher further explained.
