Marking the first anniversary of fall of the regime, the Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR) released an updated report on its findings on human rights violations by the regime.
This includes the killing of 202,021 civilians over the course of the war and the forced disappearance of 160,123 people. SNHR registered 45,032 people who have been killed under torture. SNHR also documented the identities of 16,200 people who are implicated in the crimes of the former regime.
The report recommends that the current government commit “to the principles of transitional justice”, which many human rights groups see as an important part of Syria’s post-war healing process.
