”May God take revenge on Iran and Russia”, wishes a local Syrian from the street of the chemical attack on hospital in Douma, 2018. He lost his 4 children and wife.

Other witnesses who testified in the Hague were flown to Russia and tortured there, forced to give false testimonies.

Now that the Assad regime has fallen, these people can finally speak freely.

Freed from threat of #Assad regime, survivors give accounts of deadly chlorine attack on #Douma in April 2018

Hamad Shukri, then 10, was photographed cradling his baby brother in makeshift hospital that treated around 100 survivors struggling to breathe.

"I remember it very well cuz there was no explosion, only gas. Adults were throwing water on everyone to try & wash chemical off.

I didn’t understand what was happening. I just knew that people were dead"
