Following the fall of Bashar al-Assad from the Islamist coalition under Ahmed al-Sarah, the organization worked with Syrian and international organizations specializing in missing and criminal justice to create this virtual museum.
“We were afraid that these prisons would be destroyed before we could substantiate their existence, but so far we have managed to visit 70 of them,” Matar said.
According to the organizers, the museum aims to “honor the victims, to reinforce survivors’ voices and to gather evidence to lead those responsible to justice”.
