Incredibly honored to have been part of the team authoring @syrianetf's 2021 policy report "Idlib: Syria's Last Hope" with @v_zanettab @lexicarr_10 @soccermouaz and Alexandra Woodward. The report features witness testimonies and "policy recommendations to end the killing."

[Syrian Emergency Task Force @syrianetf]

SETF is proud to release its 2021 Policy Report, “Idlib: Syria’s Last Hope,” as we enter the tenth year of atrocities in Syria.

“[...] The resolution of the Syrian war hinges on protecting Idlib.” To read more go to: https://t.co/oymabYtNrg

[Liechtenstein UN @LiechtensteinUN]

It’s 27/3! Liechtenstein is thinking of Article 27.3 of the Charter – notably its final clause, which says that Security Council members shall abstain from voting if they are a “party to a dispute”. We must ensure the full and consistent application of this important provision.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Quick reminder that the US Congress is 73% male and that’s the lowest it’s ever been, in case you want 1 small contributing glimpse as to why Roe hasn’t been treated w/ the urgency it deserved for ~50 years. (And why our politics are so gross towards women & LGBT+ people overall)

“This should not be a negotiation. It’s humanitarian aid we’re talking about.” @omarAlshogre at the #UNSC

[Syrian Emergency Task Force @syrianetf]

“As of today, there are millions of people who depend on humanitarian aid in the northwest and northeastern Syria and depend on the border point of Bab el Hawa.”

@SenatorMenendez @SenatorRisch @SafiraLeaf @dstroul "I buried so many children tortured to death & I remember them all."

“I buried a mother still holding her infant to her breast as their lifeless bodies were thrown in the trench.”

The #GraveDigger testifies to SFRC on #Assad's mass murder of civilian detainees.

[Syrian Emergency Task Force @syrianetf]

“I know exactly where they are- piled into mass graves that are still being dug today. I know this because others who worked with me on the mass graves have very recently escaped and confirmed what we have been hearing.” -#GraveDigger #Syria #SaveSyria

[Elizabeth Hagedorn @ElizHagedorn]

Eyewitness known as the 'Gravedigger' testifies before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

"I hope that by sharing my story, it may spark something inside you, and maybe even renew hope for the future of Syria."

BIG NEWS - Anwar Raslan, a former colonel in Assad’s regime was just sentenced to life in prison for crimes against humanity.

The Koblenz torture trial is the first of its kind worldwide. It won’t be the last. Our full reaction soon.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Breaking News: A German court convicted a Syrian ex-officer of crimes against humanity, a watershed moment for those seeking justice for Syrian war atrocities. https://t.co/RRxV31lKxA

"desperate conditions in Rukban have forced many residents to return to regime-controlled areas, where they face forced conscription, detention, or extrajudicial killing..." Always an honor to work with @vzb97 @SoccerMouaz @Lexicarr_10 @celehope and Alexandra at @syrianetf .

[Syrian Emergency Task Force @syrianetf]

"Save us from starvation" is what the signs on the cover of our recently published Rukban report read. Read our report here: https://t.co/6oI2b7D8w9 to find out what can be done to ease these people's suffering. #Rukban #Syria #humanitariancrisis #actnow

[Lucy Jeffries @LucyJeffries14]

Everyone has been binging and talking about #SquidGame ... but most ignore uncannily similar situations occurring right now in Syria's prisons. Hear @omarAlshogre recount how he saw his own nightmarish experiences reflected in hit show.

[Omar Alshogre | عمر الشغري @omarAlshogre]

I watched #SquidGame and I’m shocked at how a South Korean series could reflect the reality of what happens in Syria’s detention centers. I saw myself and my cousin Bashir in it. It resonates with my experience of years of mental torture. It’s emotionally breaking.

Please read about Ethan's story and any donations are more than welcome! I have been working with Ethan* for a little while now. He is an incredible person who strove to defend women in his home country against sexual violence.

Ethan is also an asylum seeker in the United States and a dedicated human rights activist who was detained and tortured for reporting on sexual abuses in his home country. He is an incredibly kind and patient person who has been separated from his family for over 5 years.

As a member of INTERPOL, #Damascus can publish International Arrest Warrants, called “red notices”'' ..a request for member countries to Locate and Arrest individuals. In some cases, these arrests can lead to Extradition, https://t.co/0SMwotWXwR
