flag A massive leak of over 134,000 classified Syrian government records and 70,000 photos—dubbed the Damascus Dossier—has exposed systematic torture, mass murder, and forced disappearances under Bashar Assad’s regime, with evidence of at least 160,000 people detained or killed between the 1990s and December 2024. flag Obtained after the regime’s collapse, the data, shared with the ICIJ, German prosecutors, and UN human rights bodies, includes death certificates, arrest reports, and chilling images of emaciated, numbered corpses from detention facilities like Sednaya. flag The cache, larger than the 2014 Caesar files, reveals a state-run bureaucracy of repression, offering closure to some families after years of uncertainty, while fueling global efforts to hold perpetrators accountable.
