We attended a Parliamentary event on 28 October on the Caesar photographs which were smuggled out of Syria. These photos document the systematic torture that occurs on a regular basis within the Assad regime's prisons. The event focused on achieving accountability and called on the UK Parliament to take more action to achieve justice for victims in Syria.
RR's Director Dr. Haytham Alhamwi describes his harrowing experience with the Caesar torture photos to Mancunian Matters. This article sheds critical light on the struggles facing Syrians as they pore through these photos and reminds readers of the atrocities committed by the Assad regime.
RR interviewed for this piece in The Times on the effect that the Caesar photographs have had on Syrians around the world. Dr. Alhamwi highlights that not only is there anguish when people identify loved ones, but also when they are uncertain as to the identity of the bodies because of the level of mutilation and torture that they have undergone.
Is It My Father-In-Law? Dr Alhamwi speculates as to whether body in Caesar photograph is that of his father-in-law
