lego 44,165 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 A new report by Human Rights Watch has detailed the mass deaths and torture of detainees by the Assad regime since the country’s 2011 uprising. A woman reacts at an exhibition of Caesar's photographs in New York, March 2015. Syria's regime subjected some 7,000 prisoners — all of whom died in custody — to torture, starvation, and execution since the country's 2011 uprising, a new report byHuman Rights Watch (HRW) released on Wednesday said. The advocacy group analyzed thousands of photographs taken by a defector from Assad's regime — identified only as "Caesar." Caesar had worked as an official forensic photographer for the Bashar al-Assad regime's military police, and had taken the pictures as part of an apparent massive bureaucratic effort by the Syrian government to document prisoner deaths, as well as deaths among security forces who died in the country's conflict. Caesar smuggled more than 50,000 photographs — showing the bodies of prisoners or security personnel labelled with a series of unique identification numbers — out of the country on disks and thumb drives before he defected. The precise reason the regime took the photographs is not known. In a previous press interview, Caesar said he had "often wondered" why they were being taken, but added: “The regime documents everything so that it will forget nothing. Therefore, it documents these deaths…If one day the judges have to reopen cases, they’ll need them,” according to HRW. HRW said they were able to identify 19 of the dead prisoners in the photographs, the youngest of whom was just 14 years old. The images were then examined by forensic pathologists. read all http://www.buzzfeed.com/franciswhittaker/syrian-prisoners-executed-and-tortured?utm_term=.tqKOzOwg1#.vq9rqrDwd FreePalestine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
