MOSCOW, ( ST)_ The Russian Committee for Solidarity with Syria has stressed that the armed terrorist groups in Syria ” recruit children into their ranks and force them to take up arms and engage in battles” against the forces of the Syrian army and state.
In a statement posted on its website on Monday, the committee added that the “armed groups are using those children for the torture and execution of persons they hold as kidnapped.”
The Committee noted that such acts contradict with the international laws that prevent recruitment of children under fifteen year old in the armed forces or groups and consider using them in acts of hostilities as a crime whether being direct participation in fighting , reconnaissance , espionage and rebellious missions or as means for giving signals.
The committee pointed the importance that the world should know and be informed of the practices ” of this ” fake revolution” in Syria.
