.omplaint to Waldheim Charges Syrians With Murder of POWs (Continued from Page 1) charges were not sent to the UN chief executive because of their "abhorrent nature." According to the Israeli envoy, "After the Syrian forces that had penetrated the region of the Golan Heights had been driven back, Israel Defense Forces discovered proof that 28 Is- raeli soldiers, who had been taken prisoner by the Sy- rians, had been murdered in cold blood after their cap- ture by the soldiers of the rian army." he Israeli diplomat pro- vided the particulars of the localities and of the number of murdered Israeli POWs found in them: the bodies of 11 Israeli soldiers were found at the Hushneyah crossroads, seven bodies were found at Hushneyah village; three bodies were found at Tel Faris; and at least seven Israeli POWs were murdered by the Syrians at the Israel Defense Forces strongpoint on Mount Hermon. "In light of the condition in which the bodies were found, it is clear that the Is- raeli soldiers were murdered systematically and in cold blood after they had been taken prisoner," Tekoah stated in his report. "They were blindfolded, their hands were bound, and in certain cases their legs also." Tekoah specified the find- ings as follows: - mony of Syrian officers and men who were taken prisoner by the Israeli Defense Forces, the last 5 of the 31 Israeli soldiers to emerge from the strongpoint when the garrison gave itself up were shot dead while their hands were raised and they were un- armed. The testimony in question affirms that the 5 Israeli prison- ers who were shot were mur- dered on the specific orders of the officer commanding the Syr- ian battalion on the spot. Two other Israeli soldiers were mur- dered as the line of prisoners marched toward the neighbor- ing Syrian strongpoint. Accord. ing to the evidence of the Syrian prisoners, orders were given to the Syrian escort to kill every Israeli prisoner who lagged be- hind. Two of the prisoners had difficulty in walking because they were wounded, and they were accordingly shot dead by the Syrian soldiers. Five photographs are attached which show with horrifying clar- ity what was seen by the Israeli soldiers who found the bodies of the murdered prisoners of war. It is possible to distinguish plainly that the prisoners were concentrated in a single group and then were shot dead at point-blank range. It can also be seen that all of them had been blindfolded with bits of clothing and rags, and that the hands of every one of them had been bound behind his back. Tekoah stated: "The fact that four separate groups of bodies of Israeli prisoners of war were fotind in differ- ent places leads to the con- clusion that in this war meth- odical murder was perpe- trated in accordance with plans and orders emanating from a high central author- ity. The murder of prisoners of war constitutes a violation of Article 13 of the Geneva Convention relative to the treatment of prisoners of war. Under Article 13, the deliberate murder of a pris- oner of war is a grave viola- tion of the Convention. Need- less to say, the murder of prisoners of war constitutes the most serious imaginable infringement of the whole basis of the Convention and of the principles of humanity accepted among civilized peo- ples." The Israeli envoy added: "So as not to cause additional anguish to the families of the murdered men, the govern. ment of Israel has refrained until now from bringing these dreadful facts, in all their tragic detail, to the knowl- edge of the general public. Since, however, the story has been widely reported in the press, the government of Is- rael regards it as its bounden duty to bring the shocking findings which have come to light to the knowledge of the International Committee of the Red Cross. The govern. ment of Syria bears unequiv- ocal responsibility for these methodical crimes. "The government of Israel calls upon the International Committee of the Red Cross to take, at once, the neces- sary steps to condemn the bar bar i c and disgusting crimes that have been de- scribed, and to ensure that proper and full protection he extended to Israeli prisoners of war," Tekoah stated. "It demands that every means be taken immediately to guarantee the health, wel- fare and honor of the Israeli prisoners of war held captive in Syria." to tne citizens of use itrau countries and of Israel the decisive truth that fate has willed it that Israel and the Arabs shall live together in this region and not lift up sword against one another, Let this cease fire be the beginning of a lasting peace.
