Truly horrific testimony from a #Syria regime grave digger in the #AlKhatibTrial against former Assad officials charged w atrocity crimes.

Btw 2011-2017, up to 700 bodies would arrive at least twice a week from intelligence branches & military hospitals. thelevantnews.com/en/2020/09/mas…
The world knew about #Assad's #torture archipelago.

There was plenty of int'l reporting on the regime's arrests of dissenters, medical workers, journalists, & activists.

The torture, enforced disappearances & deaths in #Syria’s prisons was no secret.

.@WafaMustafa9's farther was one of those who stood up for rights in #Syria, so the regime disappeared him.

The @EU2020DE shld be inspired by Wafa's courage & humanity, & make:
ACCESS to;
RELEASE of;
JUSTICE for #Syria's 100.000+ detained & disappeared dissenters #EU priorities.
"Looking into the eyes of a torturer as he’s sitting in a proper court of law was liberating"

"This trial in #Koblenz, #Germany feels like the start of a collective process of healing for many of us Syrians"

The case before the Hague-based special court marks a crucial step for justice and the rule of law – in #Kosovo and beyond.

Victims, survivors, and their families may now finally learn the truth and get justice.

Two steps are essential now:

1) Ensure robust witness protection, which has undermined so many #Kosovo cases in the past; and

2) Fair trials as soon as possible with the defendants enjoying due process rights.
