🏚 Once a traditional home in Mosul’s Old City, #ISIS turned it into a Hisba prison.

Our 3D reconstruction took 3 years of work:
📜 1,000+ documents analyzed
🗣️ 7 survivors from this prison interviewed
🗣️ Dozens from other Hisba prisons in Mosul

Walk through:

Leaked CCTV from Suwayda Hospital (July 16, 2025) shows gov. forces shelling the building, assaulting staff, and executing civilians — one killer wore an ISIS patch.
We’re investigating these crimes just as we did ISIS & Assad crimes. Justice must be universal.

Yusuf Al-Labbad was not killed in a vacuum.
His death is a direct result of unchecked crimes, official lies, and a system built on impunity.

Every crime we fail to confront becomes permission for the next.

Yusuf Al-Labbad walked into the Umayyad Mosque alive — and left as a corpse.

The official story? He “hit his head on hard objects” by himself in a guarded room.

No cameras. No witnesses. No medical report.

This wasn’t suicide.
It’s state violence — again.

Today is my brother Mohammed Nour Matar’s birthday.
He was taken by ISIS in 2013 and we’ve heard nothing since.
We searched every prison, every village, every wall.
We built a museum for him.
And we will keep searching.
Because he’s brave. Because he matters. Because he’s my brother.

The ISIS Prisons Museum expresses its deep sorrow over the bombing that targeted the Mar Elias Church in Damascus, claiming the lives of more than 25 civilians and injuring dozens of others.

Heartbroken by the horrific attack on St. Elias Church in Damascus. Dozens were killed and injured while praying.
My deepest condolences to the families of the victims and all members of the Syrian Christian community.
Violence against worshippers is a crime against us all.

I found this book “Wars and Conspiracies That Changed the World: Made by the Freemasons” in the investigator’s office at Branch 215 in Damascus.
This is the same room where I was tortured in 2011.
The man beating me believed revolutions were Zionist plots, and the world was run by the Freemasons.

Just found a 1976 Arabic translation of “The History of the German Army” by Benoist-Méchin… in a military police prison in Qaboun, rural Damascus.
Syrian prisons: where fascist literature survives better than the inmates.

الإعلان الدستوري الجديد في سوريا يمنح صلاحيات واسعة لرئيس الأمر الواقع أحمد الشرع (الجولاني سابقا)، تعيين المحكمة الدستورية، وثلث البرلمان، وتعيين الوزراء، وقيادة الجيش والأمن… وإعلان حالة الطوارئ.
كأننا نعود إلى زمن حافظ الأسد. مايحدث هو استيلاء العسكر على السلطة والبلاد مجدداً.

Live from Al Umayyain Square in Damascus—crowds passionately chanting “Jolani forever!” Because, of course, this square knows no purpose other than glorifying whoever holds the whip. The same voices that once screamed for Bashar are now serenading Jolani.

The grand ceremony to declare Ahmed Al-Sharaa (a.k.a. Abu Mohammad Al-Jolani) as Syria’s new president was graced by none other than a stellar lineup of warlords—legends in the fine art of brutality! Abu Amsha, Abu Az, and Fahim Issa. Truly, a dream team for the bright future of Syria. 😞😵‍💫🥷🤬

Ahmed al-Sharaa, met with the mother of the kidnapped American journalist, Austin Tice.
He did not meet with any families of Syrian detainees and instead closed the doors to them, preventing them from uncovering the truth about what happened in Assad’s prisons.
This man is a hypocrite.
