VICTORY 🧵
Congratulations to every Syrian who fought tirelessly for this moment: the peaceful protesters, the Free Syrian Army fighters, the detainees who paid the heaviest price among us, and the heroes of the White Helmets who gave us hope in our darkest hours.

At just a few days old, little Mohammad Ghbeis was detained inside the ICU in Damascus, his first days were marked by detention, not nurture. He was quickly moved from the ICU to an orphanage, and later to SOS Children Villages. All while his mother remained behind bars for 3 years

The first flight since the fall of the regime has just taken off from Damascus Airport, heading to Aleppo. It’s currently the most tracked flight worldwide, a testament to the significance of this historic moment.

🧵The story was already distasteful and orientalist (Western woman swooping in to save a brown man, days after the Syrian people had already saved themselves) and more about breaking a crazy headline than providing an alleged victim with urgent medical and psychosocial care. (5)

🧵Rushing to produce a story like this has obfuscated the truth, created a false equivalency between detainees and regime officers & is deeply disrespectful to the thousands of legitimate stories of prisoners who suffered at the hands of men like the one @cnnipr.bsky.social featured. (4)

1/ So many want to give HTS more time…they say “don’t judge just yet.” But if you say you want freedom for ALL Syrians (& you mean it), you must call out new leaders on every violation.

The revelation of brutal detention camps under Assad’s regime,like the"human slaughterhouse"of Sednaya, raises haunting questions: How could Arab states and some European countries justify normalizing ties with a dictator responsible for such atrocities? History won’t forget this betrayal of justice

Whoever supported the regime even with one tweet is partially responsible for these atrocities, RIP Mazen.
With great sadness, Mazen Hamada was found dead inside Sednaya Prison.
Mazen Hamada had previously been detained for four years, during which he endured severe torture and rape.
He was later released and migrated to the Netherlands.

This is a photo of a child who was freed from Sednaya Prison in the Damascus countryside. Reports say he was born and spent his entire life in a cell with his mother, who was a political prisoner under the dictatorship that fled a few days ago.

I was deeply concerned for Syria when Trump named Tulsi Gabbard as DNI two weeks ago. But after last week's astonishing rebel offensive, my mood has skyrocketed. If the offensive continues at the same pace, she might not have an Assad to flirt with by January. Tick tock⏰

For the first time ever, Hama is free from Assadist militias and their allies. Huge victory for the rebels. After Aleppo, Hama is the second big city to be captured in less than a week. The map is getting greener day by day 🟩

Around 3 pm today, airstrikes reportedly hit 5 medical facilities in Idlib City, Syria, incl. 4 hospitals (one with a maternity ward). Flight data from @SentrySyria shows two Russian aircraft departed Hmeimim and circled above the opposition-held city at the time of the strikes.
