The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (also known as SOHR; Arabic: المرصد السوري لحقوق الإنسان), founded in May 2006, is a United Kingdom-based information office whose stated aim is to document human rights abuses in Syria; since 2011 it has focused on the Syrian Civil War. It has been frequently quoted by major news outlets since the beginning of the war about daily numbers of deaths from all sides in the conflict[3][4] and particularly civilians killed in airstrikes in Syria.[5] The SOHR has been described as being "pro-opposition" and anti-Assad,[a] but has reported on war crimes committed by all sides of the conflict.
