On November 27, Wednesday, armed opposition groups launched an operation against the Bashar al-Assad regime in Syria, overthrowing the 61-year-old Ba'ath regime in just 12 days. Following this development, Bashar al-Assad fled the country and sought refuge in Russia, while details of the atrocities that occurred in the country over the years began to emerge. MASS GRAVES FOUNDAfter the fall of the Assad regime in Syria, mass graves were discovered near Damascus. The area in the Husseiniye region, just behind Damascus Airport, was captured for the first time, and it is claimed that 75,000 people are buried in this area. 400 INMATES BURIED PER DAYSatellite images revealed that the area contains numerous large pits, and it is also claimed that 400 inmates are buried in these pits each day. SEDNAYA PRISONIt is remembered that after Assad's escape from the country, many inmates were released from the regime's torture center, Sednaya Prison, and horrific tortures were revealed through photos circulated from the prison. DEVELOPMENTS IN SYRIAOn November 27, clashes intensified between regime-opposing armed groups and Bashar al-Assad's forces in Syria. The groups gained dominance in the largest cities such as Aleppo, Idlib, Hama, and Homs between November 30 and December 7. As the groups began to enter the capital Damascus on December 7, with support from the masses, the regime completely lost control in Damascus and many other regions, leading to its collapse. The 61-year rule of the Ba'ath Party came to an end, and regime leader Assad fled the capital. The Syrian National Army (SMO) had liberated the center of Tel Rifaat from the terrorist organization PKK/YPG on the first day of the Freedom Dawn Operation launched in December. With the liberation of the district of Manbij, the largest terrorist stronghold west of the Euphrates River was cleared of the terrorist organization.
