A Syrian government fact-finding committee has revealed that more than 1,400 people, including civilians and security forces, were killed in a wave of sectarian violence along Syria's coast in March.
The violence, which targeted Alawite communities and involved attacks by non-government armed groups, resulted in hundreds of arson attacks and mass displacement. The committee identified nearly 300 suspects and passed evidence to the public prosecutor, but denied that military leaders ordered the killings. The United Nations and human rights groups have called for accountability and transparency, urging Damascus to ensure justice for the victims.
The findings have intensified scrutiny of the Syrian government's handling of sectarian tensions and its commitment to addressing the root causes of the violence.
