For remembrance and history:

A list of countries and militias that participated in killing the Syrian people alongside the criminal regime of Assad. 🧵

Iran: Provided significant military and economic support, sent military advisers and fighters from the IRGC, mobilized sectarian fighters against Sunnis, and committed horrific massacres that resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Syrians across the country.

Russia intervened in 2015, providing air and naval support to prevent the regime's fall when opposition forces liberated several key areas. It also used its UN veto power to protect the Assad regime. The death toll from Russia's bombing in Syria is enormous and uncounted.

The night the prison was freed narrated by a former prisoner...🧵

I heard a sound, the sound of police shouting or some distant noise. Prisons are usually silent at night, so I was surprised by it....

There was a young man named Abu Hassan who slept near the window. I slept farther away. When I heard the noise, he called me:

"Abu Karam, wake up!"

"Wake up for what?" I asked.

"There’s takbeer"

I told him:

"Abu Hassan, put your head down and sleep. What takbeer? Go to sleep before they come and slaughter us."

But he insisted:

"I swear to God, there is takbeer! 'Allahu Akbar!'"

I told him:

"Alright, calm down a little."

Crimes of Hassan Nasrallah and Hezbollah in Syria

Thread🧵

Even from the early days of the Syrian revolution, Hezbollah actively supported Assad regime and participated both logistically and on the ground, brutally crushing demonstrations across Syria. Their members were deployed to suppress, assault, and detain protestors.

Hundreds of Hezbollah members entered Syria between 2011 and 2012, concentrating in vital locations such as the capital Damascus, Sayyida Zainab to the south, and areas in Aleppo, particularly Nubl and Zahra. They also stationed in Kafriya and Fua in the northeast of Idlib, long before the large-scale deployment that increased over time since 2013.

12 years ago during the month of July the city of Hama witnessed massive protests marking a significant chapter in the Syrian revolution.

A thread🧵on how it began from peaceful protests on 1/7/2011 to a siege and a brutal crackdown on 31/7/2011.

Since early June, protesters have been conducting massive sit-ins in Al-Assi Square on a weekly basis, despite attempts by Assad forces to prevent them using force, including the Children of Freedom massacre on 3/6/2011 resulting in death of 65 people.

The atrocities against protesters only fueled more people to join the protests from Hama and its countryside. One of the most significant protests in June was the protest on Friday, 24/6/2011, which saw around 200,000 people.
