Hala Al Ghawi explains why she hasn't stopped fighting for her brother, who was dragged into one of Bashar al-Assad's dungeons in 2011
He went missing when anti-government protests broke out in Hama, Syria, in 2011, presumably dragged into what has become a mass detention system for opponents of the regime of Syrian President Bashar al Assad.
“Since that time, we didn’t hear anything about his situation,” said Al Ghawi, holding back the tears during a visit to UN headquarters this month. “We don’t know. You’re not sure if he has died, so you can pray for him.” They showed thousands of victims of eye gouging, strangulation, long-term starvation and other horrors in what war crimes prosecutors have said is “clear evidence” of systematic torture and mass killings.
“Places of detention are not accessible to the UN or international monitors,” said DiCarlo. “Records from hospitals or burial sites are not public. Some families have been forced to pay enormous sums of money in hope of obtaining information, often in vain.” The Syrian conflict has killed more than 370,000 people and driven millions from their homes since it started with the repression of anti-government protests in 2011, sucking in Turkey, the United States, the Gulf and other players.
