.@ForeignAffairs published "Who Is to Blame for the Humanitarian Crisis in Gaza?" by Israeli Ambassador @yechielleiter

Breaking: This is Caesar, the Syrian who smuggled thousnds of photos of people Assad killed under torture. He was the head of the Forensic Evidence Department in Military Police in Damascus, and whom the Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act named after. @lrozen @garancelecaisne

[Mai El-Sadany @maitelsadany]

What a historical moment.

Today, the world learned the identity of Caesar, the defector who smuggled 53,275 photos of detainees tortured & killed by the Syrian regime: Farid al-Mathhan, formerly of the Forensic Evidence Dept of the Damascus Military Police. He's from Daraa.

Still in #Syria searching for my father.
Thousands of families are searching for loved ones, desperate for any piece of information.

For years, the Assad regime denied our pain, denied our demands, and gaslit us about their arrests.

We won’t be silent. We demand the full truth

"Referring to Arabic words without offering an accompanying translation is a lazy method employed by journalists intent on setting a scene without actually interrogating it."

AOC team made a flyer in Arabic

Not only are the letters not connected (like they should be), they’re also arranged backwards

[Kaitlyn Hashem @KaitHashem]

“But then isn’t translation precisely an infinite series of choices?”

“While Afrilingual currently has a small customer base of legal nonprofits, medical groups and others, its main goal is to win a fraction of the city’s growing bill for interpreters and translators — over $35.3 million last year — which mostly goes to private contractors.”

“Over the last several years, almost every major US outlet has scaled back its presence or pulled out of the country: The Times, which once had over a hundred people in its Baghdad office, has not had a bureau chief there for most of the year.”
