Exclusive: Assad government secretly moved mass grave to cover up killings, Reuters investigation finds

From 2019 to 2021, Syria’s authoritarian government carried out a secret operation to move tens of thousands of bodies from the exposed Qutayfah mass grave to a hidden site in the desert east of Damascus. The goal of the clandestine reburial was to hide evidence of atrocities as Bashar Assad tried to regain international standing

Their eyes tell the story of a lost childhood and a war that stole their dreams. 💔
