Searching for those who disappeared during the Assad regime. It is not clear how they died or whether it was a result of criminal abuse during the Assad regime. There is proof of this. But Khalid does not need any convincing. He is searching for his two brothers, Jihad and Hussein, who were captured by intelligence agencies of Assad’s infamous air force a decade ago. Since then, there has been no trace of these two brothers. Khalid says, “Some people were taken to an area called ‘Driving School’ and they were murdered there. I think my brothers too. This may have happened. He may be in a bag buried here.” BBC shared this information with Human Rights Watch in Syria. They say they are investigating reports of prisoners’ remains being dumped in similar bags elsewhere. Assad’s fall has brought a ray of hope to families who have struggled for decades to find out about their loved ones. “If you had ever passed by here during Assad’s time, you couldn’t stop, you couldn’t look up,” Khalid said. Vehicles would pass through the area at high speed. If you stopped, they would come to you, put a plastic bag over your head and take you away.” Thousands of families, like Khalid, are now searching for their relatives in Syria. have disappeared into Syria’s notorious prison system or into its military interrogation centers.

The site was once a vital buffer zone between Assad and rebel forces. Now it is deserted. Here the shoes of soldiers thrown on the runway are scattered and a live rocket is lying on the ground. The only sign of life at this place is the new guards at its gate. These are young militia men from Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS). The same group took over Syria last week. They showed us the torture chamber of Assad’s army, which had a pole for tying the feet of prisoners for beatings, and there were wires lying right next to the electrical switchboard Guard commander Abu Jarrah told us, “Here they gave electric shocks to the prisoners. These are electrical wires. The interrogator used to sit here. With these wires The prisoners were given electric shocks.” Here the prisoners’ minds were so influenced that they used to confess everything to the interrogator in the hope that they would be tortured. It will be closed.” Abu Jarrah also said that 400 women imprisoned here were regularly raped and their children were born in the prison itself. It is full of suffering, the only pain that can be made worse by the fact that there is no way to find them. In the adjacent building, the families of the victims are desperately searching through the photographs scattered in piles on the concrete floor. One after another, looking for their loved ones, one can see the seriousness and emptiness on their own faces, which are silent witnesses of the era of Assad’s rule. ‘The pain we have got, Assad should also get it’ Image caption, by Mahmoud Saeed Hussain The mother has been searching for her son for 11 years. One of these crying women was the mother of Mahmoud Saeed Hussein, a Kurd from Al-Qamishli. She says, “Yesterday we saw that his name was in the records of Air Base Jail.

She cried, “All of them are like my sons. May God give the same pain to Assad as he has given us.” Behind them are three rooms, in which files are open one after the other. Many people are sitting on the floor, crouching over piles of documents several feet high. A woman asked angrily, “What are these notes?” “No one is helping us. We want someone to come to us and check these documents. How can I find him among so many files in the jail?” The absence of any smooth system here means that That vital evidence is being destroyed every day in Syria. This includes information about missing persons and potentially any links between the Assad regime and foreign governments such as the US or UK.

Destroying documents Image caption Pictures found at Mazeh Military Airport show some of the people who were held captive there Outside, in the airbase’s quiet hangars, lie the charred remains of Russian-made planes and radars that were damaged in repeated Israeli air strikes over the past week. And the delicate balance of power in the region between Turkey, Iran and their various international supporters, including the US, has changed. This was not just Syria’s war. Whatever is happening here, other countries also have their own interests involved. The Syrian people are adamant that the time has come for them to rule the country themselves without anyone’s direction. When we are leaving from there Just then a young HTS fighter climbed onto the roof of the interrogation building to attack a photograph of Assad hanging above him. He looked down at his comrades and smiled, while photographs and documents from the Assad regime’s military files fluttered around his shoes.
