Syrian troops took over Palmyra in complete control. Residents were able to return to their homes and without fear to go to sleep. Stories about what people have experienced while under the control of terrorists, are just shocking.
Local residents said that the militants of the terrorist group “Islamic state” (banned in Russia) turned the occupied territories into a large prison, where he acted terrible and cruel laws.
“We have five years lived on the territory controlled by ISIS. It was a big prison. We greatly terrorized. For any little mistake beat people with a whip. Women were forbidden to show even the eyes,” – said a local resident.
According to the Syrian citizens, ISIL have been real sadists – they were executed for any offense, and cut off the heads of the locals, they played football.
“If someone went to the territory controlled by the government, for example, receive a salary, he was executed. Militants publicly cut off this man’s head, and then she played soccer. If someone was talking bad against religion, I would be crucified. They were just sadists, used different types of penalty, it was terrible,” he said.
Leaving positions, the insurgents mined everything in its path, sparing the ancient buildings. After bomb experts examined the streets, the city will begin to work with scientists and architects. They have to assess the scale of the damage and calculate the damage.
After the second capture of Palmyra, the humanitarian situation is catastrophic. Residents will have again, bit by bit, to restore the infrastructure. But the most terrible life is under the control of terrorists have already been passed.
