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.
He literally didn’t say that. You’re mad over a quote that doesn’t exist. He literally said “some of the worst.” I have seen video footage on BlueSky of the prisoners as they were executed and it is quite disturbing. “Like a machine,” to kill them en masse is pretty apropos of what I saw.
Do you think that’s okay? Do you think that’s NOT some of the worst mass murder to happen since WW2? If you think it’s an acceptable amount of murder, why?
