Raqqa Is Being Slaughtered Silently (RSS or RBSS; Arabic: الرقة تذبح بصمت, romanized: al-Raqqah Tadhbaḥu bi-Ṣamt) is a citizen journalist group[1][2] reporting Syrian war news and human rights abuses by Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and other forces occupying the northern Syrian city of Raqqa which ISIL used as its de facto capital. RBSS works to counter the suggestion that citizens of Raqqa welcomed the presence of ISIL.[3] Some sources described the group as one of the few reliable sources of information from the city.[4] It was founded by Abu Ibrahim a-Raqqawi.[5] RBSS has described itself as an "nonpartisan and independent" news page.
