From Akram in Syria:
"Brig. General 'Adnan Al-Ahmad, a member of the joint military command of the Free Syrian Army, said FSA is committed to the Fourth Geneva Convention relative to protecting POWs, assuring that FSA treats the prisoners well (Arabic).

My comments:
- This man lies shamelessly: These aren't my own words. This, actually, what YouTube told me.
- As most of the officers in the Original and Free Syrian Armies, this man is ignorant and has never read any of Geneva conventions (I can confirm that he has read nothing since his graduation from the academy). The convention relative to POWs is actually the third one while the fourth convention deals with protecting civilians it time of war. I'm sure that POWs and civilians of both sides can now go to bed peacefully knowing that their fates are in the hands of such knowledgeable men."
