Exclusive Torture Photos from Caesar Files Group

(Exclusive)- Syria Files obtained exclusive photos from the Caesar Files Group showing the bodies of Assad loyalists who died under torture in Syrian intelligence branches.

The photos show portraits of Bashar al-Assad and his late brother Basil al-Assad, and expressions glorifying the Assad family tattooed on the bodies of some of the detainees, raising questions about why these people were tortured and killed despite being obviously loyal to the regime.

We were unable to discover what the detainees were charged with or their cities of origin. It is, however, known that the people of the Syrian coast are Alawite, especially the army and police volunteers who usually have similar tattoos as a show of loyalty to the ruling family.
