Shocking Images from Bashar-al-Assad's Death Camps

[Leonardo17]

   Some of the images I saw last week reminded me of the images taken by Allied and Soviet troops when they discovered concentration camps that were but abandoned 3-4 days ago by the Nazis with the prisoners still wondering what had happened and what would be their faith from now on.
 



 
This report by CNN is really shocking. I feel exactly the same way as the torture images emerged from US detention facilities in Guantanamo Bay in the 2000’s. While I believe in the occasional usage of violence in the context of an active war, I never quite understood the usage of systemic / institutionalized torture on human beings. So I’m simply shocked by these images.
 
And here is the report of France 24. The man at the beginning of the video has simply lost it.




 
Also, December 10th was the 40th Anniversary of the United Nation Committee against Torture:

There is also a group called World Orguanization against torture, you can follow them on twitter and/or make donations if you can:

There are interesting information emerging from this takeover too. Donald Trump says that Turkey is behind this revolution. If we did it probably means that the US + D. Trump was absolutely aware of the situation too. This in turn means that there will probably not be a second Libya like situation. Since Iran + Russia have simply been kicked out of the region as well. Here is yesterday’s briefing of the U.S. President at Mar-a-Lago:



 
 
I went to Syria in the second half of the 90’s at the time of the father of Bashar-al-Assad. No one liked the regime but at that time it was a common type of regime in the Arab world. People had some sort stability and the country was not in a very bad situation either. Now that reality has shifted. It might be a very good idea if everyone (everyone except Russia / Iran and ISIL) decide to work together and try to give some stability to all those Syrians. Because it’s not only about us. Turkey has accepted between 3 and 5 million refugees during the civil war. Germany has accepted over 1 million. 7 million were displaced inside Syria. 3-4 million have fled toward countries other than Turkey or Europe (like Lebanon, Egypt or Iraq).
 
So I am not completely pessimistic about the new term of D. Trump. He seems to be serious in promoting peace in Ukraine as well. My hope is that he may get along very well will all those strong-men like Erdogan, Netanyahu and even Putin.

I’m not comforted by the thought of a US President who ‘may get along very well’ with authoritarian thugs.

I heard estimates yesterday on the radio that Assad may have killed upwards of 300,000 Syrians over the last eight years.
