Thirteen years after Syria's civil war began, a new Syrian Identification Centre is working to uncover the truth behind mass graves linked to the Assad regime.

Axar.az reports that, according to a BBC article, Syrian medics are undertaking the task of identifying human remains exhumed from mass graves.

Led by Dr. Anas al-Hourani, the center analyzes skeletal remains to identify victims using limited resources and struggling under sanctions that hamper DNA testing. Many graves, now exposed, contain bodies believed to be civilians killed in military detention centers like "Branch 215."

Former military driver Abu Ali, who transported thousands of corpses during the war, confirmed routine mass burials. Meanwhile, families like Malak Aoude’s still search for loved ones lost to enforced disappearances. Malak’s two sons vanished in 2012—one believed executed, the other last seen in detention. With Assad ousted, Syrians hope for justice, but identifying the dead is a slow, painful process expected to take years.
