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.

    It seems in the end, the best at killing Arabs is other Arabs.

      Cool racism dood

      The Europeans colonizing Palestine sure are killing a lot of people. Also there were the million people who died in the Iraq war.

      But those don’t count, I guess.
