There is no way to properly document the incident of beatings. I stated the beatings as reports which is true. I personally know people who were present that day and were beaten up. I personaly got beaten up while inline waiting for my goverment issued ID. It was typical even in normal times. That incident is a fact., the Military intellgence forces rounded up the industrial zone and gave everyone a beating as a show of power. I say its proper to be mentioned as it bruzed the memory of the people of Homs. I am hoping that you are not asking for judicial statement from the syrian goverent to admit it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Syrianhomsi (talk • contribs) 08:49, 7 March 2007 (UTC).
I found more refrences on the internet describing the incident. nothing scholary which is to be expected given the nature of new reporting in police state. Thanks Asabbagh.

I recently visited Homs and have some lovely photos from around the city, and of some of the sights. Also, Homs is not boring at all. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mackay qpr (talk • contribs) 14:07, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
Assad led a massacre in Homs around 1982 and killed 25,000 people. It's not mentioned in a single word. 132.69.228.88 21:14, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
