Introduction
The Syrian conflict, particularly in southern Syria, has been characterized by widespread human rights abuses, including arbitrary detention and forced disappearance, torture, and extrajudicial killings.
Many individuals and families in southern Syria have endured unimaginable loss and trauma.
Background
As the Syrian crisis reaches its fourteenth year, its enduring impact on millions becomes increasingly apparent. In the spring of 2011, the province of Daraa witnessed the inception of peaceful protests sparked by the arrest of children who had written anti-regime slogans on school walls, inspired by the unfolding events of the Arab Spring, notably in Egypt and Tunisia.
Objectives
Establish a comprehensive detainee database to document cases of arbitrary detention and enforced disappearance.
Systematically document and analyze human rights abuses focusing on crimes against humanity, the existence of crematoria, and instances resembling holocausts for use in legal proceedings, transitional justice mechanisms, and advocacy efforts.
