Top-secret documents tie Bashar's regime to mass
annihilation.
Part one
shocking documents on Syria |
Selected from a shocking report investigation published by New Yorker
The investigation starts narrating the continuous brave triers
inside Syria, collecting several documents of torturing and brutal executions
inside Bashar Assad's prisons and his direct ties on them.
He stars his reviling by:
"Some half a million people have
been killed in Syria’s civil war. An additional five million have fled,
emptying the country.
The investigator in Syria had made the drive
perhaps a hundred times, always in the same battered truck, never with any
cargo. It was forty miles to the border, through eleven rebel checkpoints,
where the soldiers had come to think of him as a local, a lawyer whose wartime
misfortunes included a commute on their section of the road. Sometimes he
brought them snacks or water, and he made sure to thank them for protecting
civilians like himself. Now, on a summer afternoon, he loaded the truck with
more than a hundred thousand captured Syrian government documents, which had
been buried in pits and hidden in caves and abandoned homes.
He set out at sunset. To the fighters manning
the checkpoints, it was as if he were invisible. Three reconnaissance vehicles
had driven ahead, and one confirmed by radio what the investigator hoped to
hear: no new checkpoints. Typically, the border was sealed, but soldiers from
the neighboring country waved him through. He drove until he reached a Western
embassy, where he dropped off the cargo for secure transfer to Chris Engels, an
American lawyer. Engels expected the papers to include evidence linking
high-level Syrian officials to mass atrocities. After a decade spent training
international criminal-justice practitioners in the Balkans, Afghanistan, and
Cambodia, Engels now leads the regime-crimes unit of the Commission for
International Justice and Accountability, an independent investigative body
founded in 2012, in response to the Syrian war.
