In July 2012, Ahmad Haidar saw a young man die at the hands of a Syrian army sniper on an Aleppo street.

The first shot had hit a leg and onlookers felt it was a deliberate attempt to incapacitate, which Haidar says is a common tactic intended to lure out rescuers. Aware of this, the onlookers, unable to approach the victim, desperately struggled to pull him to safety using ropes and poles.
