“The way these [mass graves] sites have been erased, treated [ by the new caretaking government] with complete indifference, is a deliberate act—an effort to close the file on Syria’s forcibly disappeared.” Please read Musaab’s visit to the Tadmoun’s mass graves: www.linkedin.com/pulse/walkin...

Thank you so very much, @mararevkin.bsky.social! I am incredibly grateful for your kindness, support, leadership, and teaching. I would not be where I am today without you. I remain hopeful and always strive to become a better person and pay the gratitude forward.

Very excited for this discussion on prospects for peace & justice in post-Assad Syria at Duke on Feb. 11 with 3 of my favorite experts on human rights, humanitarian aid, civil society & justice, @rbkhoury.bsky.social @imad-alhajj21.bsky.social & Sara Kayyali, co-moderated with Adam Mestyan:

Today I was laid off from my job. I’m grateful for the opportunity to serve at SJAC. I’m so sorry & sad (angry) not being able to continue to support the Human Rights & Transitional Justice efforts in Syria in a such critical time. I am hopeful to find an opportunity to continue my work.

New report by me, @benckrick.bsky.social & Dr. Raed al-Dulaimi for UNIDIR on attitudes toward Iraqis with perceived ties to ISIL based on original survey data and interviews. We find that stigmatization persists 8 years after ISIL's territorial defeat, even of children: unidir.org/publication/...
