How Assad’s Syria moved the bodies of its victims

Under the leadership of Bashar al-Assad, the Syrian government orchestrated a clandestine operation to conceal the scale of its atrocities by relocating bodies to mass graves. This operation, spanning years, involved the forced conscription of truck drivers, including those transporting everyday goods like ice cream, meat, and produce, to assist in the grim task of moving corpses. Witnesses, including former truckers, diggers, and cemetery overseers, have revealed the industrial-scale nature of these activities, conducted under the cover of darkness to avoid detection.
