category “Killed (قُتِل)” and 356 reports for the category
“Missing-مفقود or Detained-مُعتقل”. A total of 6,317 individuals killed over 286 days (March 18, 2011 thru January 8, 2012)

Tracker is collaborating with the following crowdsourced efforts to
further validate, corroborate, and disseminate the information: Middle East Voices (Voice of America), Syrian Martyrs شهداء الثورة السورية, Silmya, and Syrian Youth Movement.
Reports were primarily verified by a group of volunteers from the Crisis Mappers, Stand By Taskforce in addition to cross-validating information against other sources or online posts
