The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) founded in May 2006 is an information office documenting human rights abuses in the Syrian Civil War. Rami Abdulrahman's UK based SOHR has been cited by virtually every western news outlet since the beginning of the uprising.[1][2] After the start of coalition airstrikes against ISIL/ISIS in September 2014 SOHR is frequently quoted by major newsmedia, such as Voice of America, Reuters, BBC, CNN and National Public Radio about daily numbers of ISIL/ISIS fighters and civilians killed in airstrikes in Syria.
