A/HRC/18/53 adopting manifestations of violence, sabotage and setting fire to public service buildings, they are faced with an adequate number of unarmed law enforcement agents with a mission to control the situation. In this case when few individuals initiate shooting at the police as well as other protestors in order to create confusion and discredit the Syrian general authorities, law enforcement agents usually move away from the demonstration to avoid clashes with terrorists, in order to prevent more fire arm shootings that might hurt protestors. Law enforcement agents are not allowed to use fire arms under any circumstances, except to react in self defense while fighting terrorist groups, or when these groups terrorize and mass-murder other citizens in locations where law enforcement agents happen to be. The Strategy followed by law enforcement agents in dealing with the few peaceful demonstrations and the bigger number of riots since the begging of events in Syria is to adopt unlimited self control. This strategy, paired with strict orders not to use fire arms – even with riots- has resulted in murders of hundreds of officers and law enforcement agents, and thousands were injured by fire arms, swards and knifes used by terrorists. There is no immunity for officers and other law enforcement members who break orders, or exceed the power granted to them, in doing so, they expose themselves to severe punishments according to the penal code. In the subject of rescuing the injured and provide them with the appropriate medical attention, the competent medical emergency bodies equally perform services destined to all citizens in need of medical attention, whether they are peaceful protestors, terrorists or law enforcement agents, In support of this policy. Orders are to refrain from arresting any injured person who is transported to a hospital, regardless of this person’s extent of criminal actions conducted during demonstrations during which he was injured. 13.
