Statement by #Hama 's coordinating committee regarding the video of the soldiers being thrown into the river https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=191572890905695&set=a.168684683194516.41981.162428843820100&type=1&theater&ref;=nf
translation:
1) The Assi river has been dry for a month and a half now because the dams at Rastan have not been opened to allow water to flow.
2) There is no such bridge in Hama.
3) There is no background noise whatsoever in the video Not even a splash. Nothing.
4) the way this video was distributed by unknown sources and the timing, suggests that it was released by the regime to justify an attack on Hama. This video was most likely taken in Jisr el Shughur, and shows pro-regime militia disposing on civilian bodies.
They go on to say that after four months, the regime can come up with no valid accusations against Hama, so they have resorted to making some up.
