Security forces in Syria said on Monday that they arrested three people involved in the execution of hundreds of citizens by government forces in Damascus, two years after the country’s 13 -year civil war.
Near the Yarmuk Palestinian refugee camp, dozens of police and security trucks of Tadmon, a Damishk suburb, made arrests on the same roads, once witness to mass performance. The masked, rifle-winners went through hollow-out buildings, the remains of a war that converted the district into an forward line between government forces and opposition fighters.
In 2022, in a leaked video on April 16, 2013, the annoying footage of execution was included. The nearly seven -minute clip showed members of the notorious military intelligence branch of Syria while leading a line of about 40 -blind prisoners in 227, their hands tied behind their back, left the building in the tadamon. One after the other, the gunmen pushed or kicked the prisoners into a ditch filled with old tires, shooting them as they fell.
One of the three arrested was Monzar Al-Jajiri, a resident of Zahira neighborhood and a former operative with military security operated before the fall of Bashar al-Assad in December 2024.
Al-Jajari told the Associated Press, “We used to make detailed arrests at the posts, put them under buildings and execute them, and then we used to explode buildings after working.” Said, is it speaking under Dur or voluntary.
“Every batch made around 25 [people]”He passed through a batch and the next,” he said, “He He Hey and his colleagues killed” about 500 “people.”
Damascus Security Head Lieutenant. Colonel Abdul Rahman al-Dabag confirmed the number citing additional statements from those arrested.
Al-Dabbag told AP, “Many of those killed were collected at posts and security centers, which were brought to the Tadmon neighborhood, where they were killed.”
Two other arrested suspects were identified as Somar Mohammad al-Mahmood and Imad Mohammad al-Mahmood.
Years after the disappearance of the Syrian’s worst massacre and mass, most of the alleged crimes have not been investigated and they are inaccessible.
Since the expulsion of Assad, under the new leadership led by the Islamist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, Syrian security forces have tracked and arrested the remains of the former government and army across the country.
“Operation continues to inform all those involved in violations and massacres against Syria,” said Al-Dabbag.
