Summary

Mass graves uncovered in Syria after Bashar al-Assad’s overthrow reveal evidence of systematic atrocities, with over 100,000 people tortured and killed in what a top war crimes prosecutor described as the worst abuses “since the Nazis.”

Assad’s regime operated a “machinery of death,” involving mass disappearances, torture, and secret burials.

Rebel forces freed thousands of political prisoners, but many remain missing.

International efforts aim to document war crimes, though Assad, now in Russia, is unlikely to face trial.

    Okay, thanks for sharing the source of your feelings. Your actions are still to hijack any and everything to be a soapbox. If there’s any single one thing that can take this space, it’s another genocide in the middle east. Like dude, come on…

      Hijacking the statement of “the worst since the Nazis” to say “literally no wtf” 🙄
