As soon as the Assad regime fell, the details of its crimes against detainees began to emerge, through hundreds of prisons and mass graves that are found on a daily basis.
Zaman al-Wasl newspaper received messages about the possibility of the presence of bodies of detainees in the morgues of the Faculties of Medicine in Damascus and Aleppo, which prompted the newspaper to search for testimonies, documents or information about this case that would help achieve justice in the detainees’ file.
According to the head of the Anatomy Department at the Faculty of Medicine at Damascus University, Dr. Bayan al-Sayyid, “there is absolutely no truth to the presence of bodies of detainees in the morgue of the Faculty of Medicine,” noting that “the last batch of bodies arrived in 2012 of non-Syrian nationalities to be dissected.”
“He confirmed to Zaman al-Wasl that the delivery of bodies was done through “the Attorney General exclusively according to a complex process,” reiterating that “no Syrian body has ever entered the morgue of the Faculty of Medicine since its inception.”
Sayyed's statement comes at a time when human rights information and reports have confirmed that thousands of detainees were liquidated in government civilian and military hospitals, which the Assad regime controlled, such as the hospitals of Homs, Damascus, Aleppo and Daraa, but the most horrific crimes were committed in military hospitals, most notably "Tishreen Military" and "Mezzeh 601".
Perhaps the trial of the German judiciary of the doctor "Alaa Moussa" in 18 cases of torture while working in military hospitals affiliated with the Assad regime between Homs and Damascus, is the greatest witness to what the detainees were receiving in the hell of Assad's grip.
Zaman Al-Wasl calls on anyone who has any information on this subject to provide it and communicate through the newspaper's accounts, to work together to uncover the facts that serve the file of detainees, more than 112 thousand of whom are still missing according to the latest report by the "Syrian Network for Human Rights".
