On the 15th of March, 2011, #Syrian civilians took to the streets demanding democratic reforms and a better life.
These civilians were met with bullets.
They were met with torture.
They were met by the Syrian government who knows no limits. #HRC50

In later years of this conflict, the government used chemical weapons. It used Chlorine gas. It used weapons of mass destruction on its own people. #HRC50
