Ousted Syrian President Bashar al-Assad claims he had no intention of fleeing Syria and planned to lead from Russia, seems tenuous at most considering the extent the atrocities perpetrated by his govt. against those considered opponents of his administration

Ousted Syrian President Bashar al-Assad fled his country for Russia while claiming in a post last week that he merely left the capital on December 8 to meet with Russian forces in the Latakia province “to oversee combat operations” as Syrian rebels stormed Damascus. Currently the rebels not only control the capital but the country as well.
The collapse of President Bashar al-Assad’s regime, has enabled the takeover by the jihadist rebel group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham – HTS – which was once was affiliated with al-Qaeda but broke from the group.

In the wake of the regime falling mounting evidence the brutal intransigence against the population are been unearthed. In the latest development mass graves of the regime’s victims were found in al-Qutayfah, about 25 miles north of the capital.
Speaking with Reuters, Mouaz Moustafa, the executive director of the Syrian Emergency Task Force, [SETF]: put said “One hundred thousand is the most conservative estimate,” Moustafa told the news agency was the amount of bodies he believed were dumped at the chilling site. “It’s a very, very extremely, almost unfairly conservative estimate.”
Moustafa also warned that it was just one of eight mass graves created by Assad’s government.

It’s believed Assad’s govt dumped the bodies of dissenters at the mass grave site: “[The Syrian air force was] in charge of bodies going from military hospitals, where bodies were collected after they’d been tortured to death, to different intelligence branches, and then they would be sent to a mass grave location,” said SETF head, Mouaz Moustafa

The mass grave identified at al-Qutayfah is littered with multiple trenches estimated to be about 19 to 23 feet deep and more than 10 feet wide.
Moustafa, who arrived in Syria after Assad fled to Moscow last week, said the grave was likely the outcome of the work entrusted to the former regime’s military.
“[The Syrian air force was] in charge of bodies going from military hospitals, where bodies were collected after they’d been tortured to death, to different intelligence branches, and then they would be sent to a mass grave location,” Moustafa said.
Moustafa confirmed the grave matches the description from funeral officer personnel who helped unload the bodies and later escaped Syria to spread the word of the atrocities committed under Assad.

The Syrian Emergency Task Force said they have also spoken to bulldozer drivers who were ordered by the regime to squish “the bodies down to fit them in” the holes.
The grim discovery is believed to be one of the largest mass graves in modern history.
A Stalin-era mass grave in Ukraine, located at Bykivnia, a forest outside the capital Kyiv — is estimated to be the burial site of more than 200,000 executed political prisoners, according to the BBC.
Adding to the grim tale, reports have emerged of dozens of bodies found in the Daraa Governorate, in southern Syria, buttressed by harrowing video from the AFP showing the bodies sprawled out in bags outside the hole, with men pulling bones from the dirt where they were found.

The bodies being discovered across Syria are likely among the massive number of dissidents who have disappeared under the Assad regime, whose administration regularly arrested and tortured dissenters and threw them into prisons never to be seen again, as reported by the ICMP.
The true number of the missing during the years of the bloody civil war and after has yet to be independently verified.
The spokesperson for the United Nations’ special envoy to Syria, Jenifer Fenton, has called on the rebels to secure related documents to Assad’s detention sites and mass graves to ensure justice and accountability.

The true number of the missing during the years of the bloody civil war and after is yet to be independently verified. Initial estimates puts the number of the ‘disappeared’ to be at least 150,000 – buried in eight mass grave sites in around Syria

“We must prioritize accounting for the missing, ensuring the families receive the clarity and recognition they desperately need,” she said in a statement.
The Syrian rebels, led by Abu Mohammed al-Jolani, have vowed to hold Assad’s administration accountable for the alleged human rights violations and war crimes.
