another astonishing fact from the article linked above: “Many years later [Mustafa Khalifa] learnt the real reason for his arrest was an off-the-cuff remark about the #regime he’d made while studying in Paris. One of the regime’s ubiquitous informants had reported the comment.” he was #imprisoned for 12 years. #assad #syria https://www.isisprisons.museum/en/articles/assadsec?nocache=true#torture-and-conditions-of-detention

there is no way the world can say, “we didn’t know.” there was already an overwhelming amount of evidence of assad’s crimes years ago, such as 53k photos of #prisoners murdered by torture from over a decade ago.

If the Dead Could Speak

This report lays out new evidence regarding the authenticity of what are known as the Caesar photographs, identifies a number of the victims, and highlights some of the key causes of death. Human Rights Watch located and interviewed 33 relatives and friends of 27 victims whose cases researchers verified; 37 former detainees who saw people die in detention; and four defectors who worked in Syrian government detention centers or the military hospitals where most of the photographs were taken. Using satellite imagery and geolocation techniques, Human Rights Watch confirmed that some of the photographs of the dead were taken in the courtyard of the 601 Military Hospital in Mezze.

who would #MazenAlHamada have become if he had gotten the support he needed to heal, if #assad had been held accountable? maybe we would have seen him smile, write poetry, get married. now we will never know who those stolen from us could have become.

i share my ancestors’ wild hope because despite everything, i know in my heart that we can still get free. i’m tending this dream, this spark, this seed, remembering that the millions of olive trees in our homelands started in their infancy as a desire, a small and fragile dream that, with tending, transformed reality. #palestine #freepalestine #gaza #art #freedom

what if, thousands of years from now, our kin could nourish themselves and create life from these very same trees, on these very same lands? our ancestors guarded and protected this dream from its original spark into its physical form, for thousands of years, to give us our best chance at life.

“dream”. full moon in aquarius. before coming into physical reality, our ancestral olive groves were once just a dream, an idea, a wild hope, a yearning that our ancestors had. a spark that might have seemed impossible against the comings and goings of empires, the uncertainty of time. there is an inherent hope in tending land. our ancestors asked, what if we survived?

the inspiration for this piece came from the times i’ve heard so many #palestinians say this, including…

“we love life if we can find a way to it.” - mahmoud darwish

“we resist to live because, ultimately, we truly love life.” - they called me a lioness by ahed tamimi & @denatakruri

“we make [gaza] beautiful with our love for life!!” - mosab abu toha’s ig may 29/24
