Today marks ten years since the #Syria uprising started. Difficult to overstate the price paid by Syrians fighting for freedom, dignity & rights, and the importance of continuing to push for justice and reform. A thread on what we've seen this past decade. #Syria10 (1/12)
The #Syria gov’s brutal response to a peaceful uprising kicked off a decade of human rights abuses, inc. the detention & torture of 10000s, many of whom remain missing. Syrians like Ali Mustafa & Bassel Khartabil, who represent the best of Syria. (2/12) hrw.org/report/2012/07…
Conflict underscores cost of eroding respect for intl law. From the #Syria gov’s systematic use of chemical weapons + cluster munitions to starving communities to force surrender. 100s of 1000s lives lost, millions displaced & cities destroyed. Costs Syrians still bear (3/12)
