Airwars Assessment

Last Updated: December 15, 2024

In the Amnesty and Airwars’s joint April 2019 report “War in Raqqa: Rhetoric versus Reality”, one civilian was reportedly to be killed in alleged Coalition airstrikes in Raqqa. Although Airwars assesses single sourced incidents as “weak”, researchers have assessed this incident “fair” due to the depth of material provided by Amnesty.

The report stated that “Kuzli Muslim Hassan (F), aged over 80, was killed in an artillery strike outside her home.”

Mustafa Hussein, son of the victim, told Amnesty in a testimony that “She was more than 80 years old and was unable to walk much and so could not escape. She was killed in the street outside her home.”
