Uncovering Syria's Mass Graves

The aftermath of the Assad regime's fall in Syria has led to the discovery of potential mass graves, with one particularly alarming site in Al-Qataifa. Human rights organizations previously identified this compound through satellite imagery as a possible burial ground, with local estimates suggesting tens of thousands, or even over 100,000 bodies could be buried there. The eerie silence at the site is broken only by stray dogs, giving a haunting sense of the trauma that has blanketed this area for years. For the first time, locals feel empowered to share their experiences, revealing fears and the weight of oppression that marked their lives under the regime.
