Activists in Syria have detailed what they are calling two massacres by government forces and Alawite militia. The Activists say they've documented the killing of nearly 150 people in Sunni Muslim areas of Baniyas and al-Bayda since Thursday. Unverified mobile phone footage posted on the internet shows the corpses of women and children. As BBC's Jim Muir now reports.

叙利亚活动人士称政府军和阿拉维派民兵实施了两次大屠杀,称自周四以来,已在穆斯林地区巴尼亚斯和al-Bayda清点有近150人丧生。网上未证实来源的视频显示妇女和儿童的尸体。BBC记者吉姆·缪尔报道。

An activist records himself on the mobile phone as he searches through a house in the dark. He finds 20 bodies including nine of children. Oh, God, he says, a pregnant mother and her baby and her five children. The video shows the bodies of children and women huddled together in death. We can't independently verify this and a stream of other videos posted on the internet by activists. But they appear to boast of their claims that government forces and the allied, Alawite militia known as the Shabiha murdered many Sunni civilians including entire families at close range after overrunning the village of al-Bayda on Thursday and Sunni quarters of nearby Baniyas yesterday.

一名活动人士一边在黑暗中搜索一间房屋,一边用手机录像。他发现20具尸体,包括9名儿童。“哦,天啊!”他看到一名孕妇和婴儿,还有她的五个孩子。视频显示儿童和妇女的尸体堆在一起,我们无法独立证实此事,以及活动人士在网上发的其他视频。政府和盟友—名为Shabiha的阿拉维派民兵周四攻下al-Bayda村,昨天攻下附近的逊尼派社区巴尼亚斯,视频显然说明他们随后近距离杀害了很多逊尼派平民,包括整个整个的家庭。

The violence began as a funeral procession was underway for the burial of a traditional ruler. The mourners were from the Jukun ethnic group which is predominantly Christian. When they were passing through a largely Muslim part of the town, some eyewitnesses said they started chanting provocative slogans and young men fought each other. In Wukari, the Jukun and Hausa Fulani communities are in dispute over who are the original inhabitants of the town, and therefore who has the right to own the land.

The campaign began soon after Fluminense's bitter defeat on Thursday. The Ecuadorian club Emelec were given a controversial penalty in the final minute of Copa Libertadores and won the match 2-1. Fluminense supporters went on Twitter to ask fans and players to show their warrior’s spirit for the second leg of the tie.

The club has now issued the statement denouncing the campaign and telling the fans that Taliban are not warriors, they are terrorists.
