It is interesting how people here are somehow defending Al-Asad... Or are you guys just saying that Radical Islamists are worse, but Al Asad was equally bad? Or are you conveniently ignoring that when people when to search for political prisoners they found just the piles of corpses that Al Asad had been producing along the years?

Again, there is no solution to this region anytime soon. There is no interest in peace from Israel, Iran, the Kurds, the US nor Turkiya anytime soon. They have other priorities it seems.

Seems like the Syrians are some cruel motherfuckers. I liked Bashar Al-Asad because he was a dorkey geek who everyone underestimated and didn't want to be prez, but then managed to hold things together in spite of bad odds. Until he didn't. But the dude has to take credit for the stuff that went on under his watch. They used to do torture jobs for us (the U.S.) back in the early days of the so-called GWOT because they were good at it. All the way into the early days of the long-running 'isis' color revolution against Syria in fact!

One thing that Al-Asad family has a reputation for that I do appreciate is honesty. Their words and promises were solid, and I prefer 'cruel+honest' people to 'cruel+liar' ones which characterize most of the Talmudic-influenced creepers running most of the world these days. Erdogan is a classic.

Nah... do not be shy comm'on, you like Al Asad because he is a psycopath and you are one too. You have several times commented happily the attrocities of the Ruzzian army and Al Asad is just your kind of guy.

Holding things together, LOL, sure he was holding things together thanks Ruzzia and by killing anyone that is not "holding their breath" and talking. But Ruzzia is now moving away from Syria and it is looking like it is not comming back. The airbases are still manned, but there is no movement and they need all that in Ukraine.

In the days following the fall of President Bashar al-Assad, Syrians have crowded his regime’s notorious detention facilities in a desperate search for loved ones who were jailed or forcibly disappeared.

Thousands of prisoners have now been freed, many after decades of incarceration in brutal conditions. Yet many more of the missing have yet to be found, and hopes are fading with each passing hour.

Nearly half a million people were killed during Syria’s 13-year civil war, and up to 100,000 of those victims may have died in government-run prisons, according to UK-based monitoring group the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

For nearly two years, he was subjected to medieval torture techniques, rapes and beatings, and unspeakable psychological abuse. He later said he confessed to crimes he did not commit when an officer secured a clamp around his penis, screwing it tighter and tighter until the pain made him feel like his mind would burst.

When al-Hamada was released, he returned to Deir Ezzor to find his city in ruins and, fearing for his life, he fled Syria for the Netherlands in 2014.
