  • A Syrian bulldozer driver reveals the horrifying details of burying thousands in secret mass graves.
    The Informer is haunted by the mass graves he dug for victims killed by Bashar al-Assad’s regime.
    As the revolution unfolded, his municipal role changed into a military position overnight.
    This meant, for a year, the Informer was pushing dead bodies into large pits with his bulldozer. He recalls the stench of the bodies being so strong that he’d passed out the first time.
    The Informer was later arrested on flimsy charges and imprisoned under brutal conditions because “if he dies, he will die with all of his secrets and knowledge”.

    I just got a digital pen pal letter from a man in Syria. He told me he hoped to find some light in the words of people from other countries. Now I understand the depths that his request must have come from. Thank you for sharing, and I hope that these memories haunt you less in the Years to come.

      It is not that simple, the biggest pillar supporting the Syrian fascist regime is a coalition of minorities mainly Alwaites, Christians, Druzes, Ismailites.. because those communities know well what atrocities and oppression by the Muslim Sunni arab majority in an Islamic Republic ruled by shariaa, I also have a Syrian friend who is pro regime and his explanation is either us or them, or we would rather have no Syria at all then leave it to sunnis who will expell us from our homes slowly and steadily.

      @@gostavoadolfos2023 I mean if Saudi Arabia accepted many migrants who are non-Muslim Whom many are treated decently and if there have already been rights to them and if the Ottoman empire gave rights to Christians same with the Abbasids and Umayyads then i don't think that the ''Evil Muslim Sunni Arab Majority'' are going to kill and expel everyone who isn't like them also Sharia not ''Shariaa'' is literally Islamic law that was made by Muslim scholars in 9th or 10th century entirely based by the Quran, Hadith and Sunnah not anything else, i mean it basically tells Muslims the instructions on how to do Ablution, how to pray, when and how to give Charity, When to Fast and What is Halal (permitted) or Haram (prohibited) now of course it includes things like on how to rule or how to manage the economy it is also technically a judicial system and btw it gives rights to Christians and Jews as long as they pay their taxes if they are wealthy enough to pay taxes or if they are: Woman, Children, Old, poor and of course sick then they're not obliged to pay these taxes only middle or upper class Healthy Men pay them and the reason why they have to pay taxes is because Muslims have another type of Tax designated by the Quran which is basically giving 2.5% of your wealth to charities or to the needy or as support to the State Yearly and even for that you need a specific amount of Wealth that you would accumulate over a year which other non-Muslims don't so it would be fair to make Muslims pay what they have to as according to their faith and to make non-Muslims also pay up and btw this money will not only help the needy but also support military campaigns build libraries, mosques and Churches as well Hospitals which technically started in the Muslim world and first Continous University started by a Muslim women who is not secular and is very pious in the middle 9th century in Morroco. So if your saying that Sharia is evil then i guess all the Muslims especially those in the US raising 100's of millions of dollars yearly by Charity and Zakat which is commanded by the Shariah are evil or those who help a injured dog or any animal in general as commanded by The Shariah evil as well then i don't know what your perception of evil is also your literally calling the Sunnis as evil who btw account for 80-90% of all Muslims are all evil i mean i am Sunni Arab and half Syrian, half is Palestinian since my father is Palestinian and my mother is Syrian and your basically calling me a person who has been nice to every Muslim and non-Muslim i ever encountered as evil and you might think i am a exception because i might be ''Secular'' well if i am Secular then that means that i believe in a state that has nothing to do with religion that is basically separated from religion and is governed by liberal Values so all the Sinful stuff like Adultery, Alcohol, Some recitational drugs and Gambling are allowed and a person is allowed to say whatever he wants no matter how bad or evil it is and everyone is allowed to be un-modest or i might be Secular by belief like a Muslim that is non practicing like i don't fast or pray or fast or give Zakat when i can then that would of course make me a Kafir (non believing Heretic) which i don't believe in nor do i want to believe in since i am religious and i am a god fearing person so please keep your Liberal secular propaganda elsewhere its tiring dealing with some consumerist Materialistic, Godless, Secular and spoiled Westerner you get fed stuff by the west and that so called ''Friend'' clearly comes from a Family of Haters i mean my friend is a Christian ''ARAB'' yeah those exist so no Arabs are not evil whether Muslim or not nor are they entirely Muslim as according to you and also that friend Syrian Arab Christian friend always goes to Syria he tells me that kids in the neighborhood near his home in Homs are a bit aggressive but he never complains about discrimination and btw he lives in Abu Dhabi (just like me), a city in the UAE which is the country that has City of Dubai and btw this country applies the evil ''Shariah'' yet Christians make up around 10% of the population who are entirely immigrants since this place never had any Christians well prior to discovering Oil and becoming a Wealthy nation that is a hub for migration so yeah a lot of Christians entirely Migrants live there and churches built for these Christians in what you call ''Evil'' Country that applies Shariah also country is mostly Sunni as well yet a lot of Shia Persian Migrants coming from Iran and some Shia natives within the country are not discriminated upon and (no Surprise) the Christian Arab in my class is treated by the Majority Muslims in my class (including me) a really good treatment no discrimination or hatred unlike how a Arab or even Muslim student would be treated in America most of them go through discrimination sometimes by the country or students or teachers of neighbors and more.

They show them placing bodies in one grave and covering it. There was a scene (I think in the same video) where they show boxes of unclaimed ashes. Imagine dying and not being returned to your loved ones, or not having the money to bury yourself with dignity

The regime itself was, as we can see in the video, clearly evil but the revolution against the regime produced more destruction than existed under the regime.

    I live next to a crematorium…. And that’s with filters I couldn’t imagine by the hundreds :( body fat turns to grease and grease can have thick black smoke and it’s a smell I wouldn’t wish on anyone 😢

    May Allah grant everyone who died jannah
    I hope and pray anyone who contributed to any Syrians death gets severely punished one day in the afterlife
    Ya allah please deal with anyone who kills anyone I wish we could all just live in peace

      All of this wouldn'tve happened if it was not for Islam.
