Turns out that President (for life) Assad is worse than thought - much much worse. From The London Daily Mail:
Syria has executed thousands of prisoners - mostly civilians opposed to the government - and burned the dead bodies in a giant crematorium, US administration claims
The Syrian government has been accused of carrying out mass killings of thousands of prisoners by the US government - which released satellite images to prove it.
The Trump administration claims the bodies of those killed were burned in a large crematorium attached to the Saydnaya prison complex outside the Syrian capital of Damascus.
The allegation matches an Amnesty International report released in February which claimed up to 13,000 people - mostly civilians opposed to the government - have been hanged in secret at the prison.
Stuart Jones, the acting US assistant secretary for Near Eastern Affairs, said Syrian President Bashar Assad's government 'has sunk to a new level of depravity' as he revealed the photographs.
Much more including satellite photos at the site. This is a crime against humanity and Syria needs to be shunned - cut off from the world. Overseas assets frozen. I am not a supporter of regime change - this violates everything that our Constitution stands for but in this case (and North Korea), I would welcome it.
