Heritage worker executed by ISIS

Khaled al-Assad, the prominent archaeologist and old former Director of Palmyra Antiquities, was murdered on August 18 2015, by Islamic State militants. Quoting the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and the Director of the DGAM, la BBC reports that “Mr Asaad had been beheaded on Tuesday at a square outside the museum in the modern town next to the ruins…His body was then hung from one of the Graeco-Roman columns.” Note that the New York Times report states that he was hung from a traffic light (a continuación). Numerous sources, tales como la New York Times, quoting Syrian sources, suggest that Khaled al-Assad was killed because he refused to give up the locations of Palmyrene artefacts that had been hidden away for safekeeping, but these reports cannot be verified. (See also the report from the DGAM.)

La DGAM held a tribute to Khaled al-Assad at the National Museum in Damascus on August 23, 2015.

If you do sign, and can add a comment, recordar los muchos otros sirios que han muerto proteger su patrimonio. Error al-Assad is by no means the first member of the DGAM, or the first Syrian volunteer, to die for protecting their heritage. Others have been threatened and paid the price, (e.g. “In Syria, Yahya Ibrahim guarded Bosra’s ancient ruins, one of the world’s best-preserved Roman amphitheaters. In January, armed militants broke into his office and demanded he not go to work. They shot and killed him when he refused.” (Vice News) or Ms. Huda Al-Hamoud, hijacked and killed (DGAM Report).) Many others have simply died just for daring to leave their houses and go to work, even when it’s dangerous. A great number of men an and women in Syria – and elsewhere – are taking amazing risks to protect their heritage: they all deserve to be honoured.
