Hundreds of women locked in cages
Hundreds of women locked in cages to act as human shields against Assad’s air-strikes: Rebels parade families loyal to president through streets as horrifying deterrent
Women loyal to President Assad in a besieged region of Damascus are being paraded in metal cages in the hope of preventing further air-strikes raining down on a stricken suburb of the Syrian capital. Almost 500 Alawites - male and female - have been rounded up by Army of Islam militants and are now being held captive in the cubed jails mounted on the back of flat-bed trucks and pick-ups. The city of Douma has been pulverised by daily attacks by Russian and Syrian bombing raids.

At least 100 cages are now being used to ferry the hostages around the city, in the Eastern Ehouta region. Videos of the trucks have been shared on YouTube and clearly show terrified women helpless inside the thick metal fencing.

Humanitarian group Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) have confirmed that at least 70 people were killed and 500 injured in a series of horrific air-strikes against Douma on Friday. Panicked men are also seen asking to be released from their enclosures, with up to ten squeezed in to each of the cages at a time Men held hostage in one of the cages hold on to its sides to keep their balance as they're driven through the near demolished city of Douma Human Rights Watch slammed the latest action by rebels on the ground, alleging that similar caging tactics were used in the Shia village of Fue, in the north of the country, last month The group's principal hospital was also hit in the attack, with a further six people killed by shelling on Monday.
