2013年8月31日，敘利亞，攝影：埃明·厄茲曼

I took this picture on August 31 in Keferghan, a town near Aleppo, in northern Syria. It was the fourth and last execution of the day committed by Al Qaeda-linked ISIS militias.

8月31日，我在敘利亞北部阿勒頗附近的一個小鎮拍下了這種照片。這天是和基地組織有關的民兵組織實施斬首行動的第四天，也是最後一天。

There were people of the village with their children, observing the scene in silence. A man, covered with black clothes except for his eyes, read his crimes for a long time. After the execution in Ehtemlat, the body was put on a pick-up and was taken to another village. The next was the execution in A'zaz, and the scene was repeated once again. The bodies were being taken from village to village. There was another execution right after A'zaz, and then Savran, and then Keferghan.

村裏人和孩子們觀看着行刑，不敢發出聲音。一個渾身裹着黑布，只露出雙眼的男子花了很長時間宣讀他的罪行。行刑後，他的屍體被扔到一輛卡車上，帶到另一個村子。接下來又一個人被處死。他們的屍體從一個村子被帶到另一個村子。類似的場景一次次重複進行。

All the people who witnessed the executions seemed relieved. I was not even sure of what kind of a picture I was taking. I tried hard not to put my camera down. I only tried to record the events through my camera. I had to document what I saw, one way or another. This is a war, and I was in the middle of an unbearable moment.

所有看完行刑的人似乎都如釋重負。我甚至不確定我在拍什麼，我一直不停地拍照。我只想用相機記錄這些事。我必須用一定的辦法記錄下我所看到的。這是一場戰爭，我無法承受這一時刻。
