Mass Grave Found Near Damascus Amid Calls for Accountability

A mass grave potentially containing the remains of thousands has been discovered near Damascus, as the new interim government pledges to hold accountable those responsible for atrocities committed under ousted President Bashar al-Assad.

The site, located in al-Qutayfah, about 40 km north of the capital, is one of several mass graves identified across the country following the collapse of the Assad family’s decades-long rule.
