SJAC is now tracking over 500 former Assad officials & affiliates arrested by the Syrian Transitional Government

These arrests are only meaningful if officials are held accountable, however, over 90% are being held without a trial

SJAC contributed several #Assad intelligence documents proving that Mezzeh military airport was approved as a site to execute & bury detainees

Current development plans could jeopardize crucial evidence about crimes committed by the Assad government

The most comprehensive study so far on vigilante attacks in #Homs, the area enduring the most sustained violence & clearly the biggest challenge for transitional justice in post-Assad #Syria.

Targeted but also random killings are mostly hitting Alawite-majority districts, against the backdrop of sectarian crimes committed by Regime & local militiamen during the war.

This complex situation, amid significant justice shortcomings and security gaps, is fueled by sectarian incitement and widespread disinformation.

The government failed to establish examination arrangements sufficiently insulated from a foreseeable access and security problem, while National Guard-aligned factions actively restricted the movement of students seeking to attend. In both cases, students’ educational rights remained contingent on political and security considerations unrelated to their academic needs.
