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.

    The Ba’ath Party is as socialist as the nazi party. Hint: not at all.

    Genuinely curious, though. Socialism is when the workers own the means of production; How would that cause genocide in your opinion?

      What do you mean, “would”?

        You implied that socialism kills. How?

        Perhaps you meant authoritarianism?
