The Story of the Cannibals Documenting the Martyrdom of Suleiman Rashid Saad in the Rasafa Massacre – March 7, 2025 This testimony was given on April 1, 2025, regarding what happened to Suleiman Rashid Saad, one of the victims of the massacres committed in the Rasafa village in the Hama countryside on March 7, 2025. According to the testimony, armed men stormed the martyr's home, a simple house lacking even the most basic amenities for a decent life, and took him away under the pretext of "interrogating" him in a nearby area. However, this pretext was false, and it became clear that the decision to liquidate him had been premeditated, according to the statements of his family. The scene was described as having a vindictive, sectarian nature. Not only was the young man shot dead, but his chest was also slit open after his death, and his heart removed and placed on his body, a brutal act that left a profound psychological impact on his family. Upon seeing his son's body, the father was deeply shocked by the horrific scene he encountered. This incident highlights the extent of the cruelty and violence to which civilians in the village were subjected. Killings were intertwined with torture, physical and psychological humiliation, in flagrant violation of all international and humanitarian laws and norms. The testimony also pointed to the family's difficult economic situation. Their home did not even have a single chair to sit on, except for the simple wooden bench on which the father sat throughout the day, recalling the memory of his martyred son and contemplating a fate that might have been different had he survived. What happened to martyr Suleiman Rashid Saad constitutes extrajudicial killing and mutilation of the victim's body. These acts are criminalized under international law and constitute war crimes and crimes against humanity.
