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.
