Syrians are beginning to uncover mass graves across the country, shedding light on the atrocities committed during Bashar al-Assad's brutal rule. Following Assad's ousting, many families are still searching for answers about their loved ones who disappeared after being detained by the regime's secret police.
A US-based anti-Assad advocacy group has revealed that hundreds of thousands of bodies, believed to be victims of torture by the Assad regime, could be buried in a mass grave east of Damascus. The alleged mass grave site in Qutayfah, marked by deep trenches, is suspected to have received truckloads of bodies on a regular basis from 2012 to 2018.
