Syrian Observatory for Human Rights

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) is a UK-based group opposed to the rule of Syrian president Bashar al-Assad, purporting to be a human rights organisation.

Alexander Cockburn observes:
 * The performance of the western press has been almost uniformly disgraceful. In the wake of the Aleppo atrocities, network journalists blandly quoted spokesmen for the Syrian rebels that the Syrian security forces had blown themselves up to discredit the rebels. Aisling Byrne of Conflicts Forum recently described in considerable detail the propaganda machine that has provided a non-stop flow of mendacious bulletins eagerly seized upon by the western press.  As Byrne reported, “Of the three main sources for all data on numbers of protesters killed and numbers of people attending demonstrations – the pillars of the narrative – all are part of the ‘regime change’ alliance. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, in particular, is reportedly funded through a Dubai-based fund with pooled (and therefore deniable) Western-Gulf money (Saudi Arabia alone has, according to Elliot Abrams allocated US$130 billion to ‘palliate the masses’ of the Arab Spring). What appears to be a nondescript British-based organization, the Observatory has been pivotal in sustaining the narrative of the mass killing of thousands of peaceful protesters using inflated figures, ‘facts’, and often exaggerated claims of ‘massacres’ and even recently ‘genocide’.”

There are two different groups with the same name publishing "human rights" reports, both of them amateurish, and one of them with "Date Muslim girls"/"Find Sexy Muslim girls in your area" advertising. Take your pick as to which of these is the "real" human rights group.
