#LCC STATEMENT ON ALEPPO UNIVERSITY - PLEASE RT

The Local Coordination Committees sends its deepest confolences and sympathy to the families of the martyrs of the University of Aleppo, the University of the Revolution, and to the displaced students who were forced to flee a place that was supposed to be a sanctuary. The regime did not deprive the students of the sanctuary with regime forces on foot, but rather the regime forces in the air.

The Local Coordination Committees also gives warm condolences to the Syrian people who are holding the Syrian regime responsible for this atrocitiy. This killer, who is accustomed to shelling bread and fuel queues and slaughtering women and children, did not hesitate to target students, and history will bear witness to that.

Considering that the date is 01/15/2013, the first day of exams for university students in Syria, it is evident that the timing of the massacre was part of a systematic plan to inflict as many casualties as possible in the university, a source of the student revolt in Syria.

The media was not the last part of the refime's plan. The regime's media arrived in the first seconds after the massacre, claiming that "armed gangs" were behind the bombing, but there was no signs of this information, especially after it was discovered that there were no explosions in the university. So, they rushed and changed the story by replacing the "car bombing" story with a "heat rockets" story.

But eyewitnesses from within the university confirm that they saw aircraft flying overhead and that heat balloons for rockets were launched from the areas of Bani Zaid and Yarmoun as a fear tactic. After less than half a minute from its sound and in 1 hour and 10 minutes, a missile was fired at the roundabout of the College of Architecture and fell in the second unit of the university housing that was crowded with displaced civilians fleeing from the continuous shelling inside the city. Nearly 15 cars were charred by the blast, which denies the regime's story that a thermal missile caused this explosion. It is also confirmed that Syrian regime forces locked the doors of the university before the bombing began and then pulled out of the area so that it could be be bombed immediately after.

While we hold the regime responsible for what happened at the University of Aleppo, we emphasize that that while the regime is only capable of committing massacres and causing destruction, the University of Aleppo will always remain a symbol of the uprising of the Syrian people. Glory to our martyrs of the University of Aleppo and the martyrs of our Syrian Revolution.
