'@sallyhayd shows in a very moving way, thru an interview with Fadwa Mahmoud whose husband & son were disappeared by Assad regime 10 yrs ago, the agony endured every day by millions of Syrians who have loved ones, relatives & friends among more than 100,000 disappeared in Syria'
'The recent report by the UN Secretary General António Guterres, which backed years of campaigning by Fadwa and her organisation @FamiliesSyria & many others calling for a dedicated mechanism to find out what happened to Syria’s disappeared, offers at least some hope'

Attending session with extremely courageous survivors & family members of #SyriasDisappeared

5 organisations have come together - based on their shared suffering & hope - to demand & explain what is needed to achieve #TruthandJusticeFirst in Syria

@irishmissionun @NorwayUN
Ahmed Helmi from @taafi_SY, a survivor of Assads detention system speaks

This Charter describes the justice victims aspire to. The victims are at the core, they are the cornerstone, they have a central role as active actors not just victims or witnesses.

#TruthandJusticeFirst
Charter goes beyond demands to propose solutions & practical mechanisms to reveal fate of the Disappeared, with victims at heart of any work for justice & accountability

Noone knows how many have been disappeared & tortured to death by Assad regime. Well over 100,000. Families are afraid to speak. When someone is arrested, they disappear. They are not charged or tried. No one can find out where they are, or talk to them - ever

'There is no shortage of evidence of the horrors of detention in Syria. Witnesses describe inhuman conditions, torture & brutal deaths. The UN has accused the Syrian government of the murder, rape, torture & extermination of detainees'

Hello @RusEmbUSA - Representative of the "cryptic" organisation #CIJA here as you can see in my profile. Glad to see you following coverage of the mounting evidence against the #SyrianRegime atrocities against its own people. @JomanaCNN @ABarnardNYT
The "extensive archive of documents" amounts to 800,000 original hard copies spanning years of Syrian military and intelligence operations to suppress, detain and torture untold thousands of men women and children. #Justice4Syria
You will remember from the good old days of #ICTY trials of our mutual "friends" #Mladic and #Karadzic that documents are the king and queen of evidence. Unshakable in the courtroom and impossible to fake en masse bit.ly/2EMHVR8
