The martyrs

Every person on this page has a name, and the archive holds it because someone took the trouble to record it. They are not photographs of an event; they are people, and they are filed that way.

Compiled from two public martyr registers, July Sohid and JRABD. They name civilians killed during the uprising — students, day labourers, drivers, garment workers, shopkeepers, children. Members of the police and other security forces also died in these weeks and are not recorded here. This is what those two registers hold, not a count of everyone who was killed.
