Another Syrian boy tortured and killed, more protests take place

Video footage has emerged showing the body of a Syrian boy reportedly tortured to death after his arrest in April following a government crackdown on pro-democracy protests in the country.

The video, provided to Al Jazeera by sources inside Syria, shows the mutilated body of 15-year-old Thamer al-Sahri, who was arrested for participating in an anti-government demonstration.

Hundreds of residents of the Syrian town of Jeeza filled the streets to mourn his death on Wednesday, the day his body was released from the mortuary and returned to his parents, six weeks after he went missing.

The amateur video shows al-Sahri's body riddled with bullets, missing an eye, several teeth, and according to Al Jazeera's source, returned to his family with a broken neck and leg.

Al Jazeera is unable to independently verify the footage due to restrictions on journalists in the country.

Al-Sahri was arrested along with his friend, 13-year-old Hamza al-Khateeb - the teenager whose brutal death caused much of the world to pay closer attention to the events in Syria. Al-Khateeb's body was also mutilated.

The Syrian government has denied using torture against protesters, but the latest video could lead to renewed demonstrations in the country against alleged excesses by the Syrian security forces.

I can't help but think that the Syrian regime is overreacting and kind of digging its own grave here.

I wonder how they are going to pass off bullet holes as natural decomposition.

I am really wondering how they think they're gonna repair their reputation after being known as the government that cuts penises off little kids.

Wonder how long it'll take until the super epic "this boy was a martyr" stories will come out of the woodwork. On how he did 50 hours of charity a week and gave his lunch money to stray animals.

Regardless, Syrian government is fucking horrible.
