It looks like Bashar Assad atrocities are yet to be discovered to the world. After all the accusations of oppression against him and his oustation, he’s still on the bitter side of Syrians. Recent shocking discoveries revealed mass graves, emphasis on mass graves, about 12 of them, believed to contain bodies of civilians killed under Assad’s regime. The discovery was made on Monday, 16 December, in Daraa Governorate located in southern part of Syria.
The anti-regime groups in Syria made the excavation work using construction equipment and said the mass graves were discovered in Izraa district.
At the time of the discovery, 31 bodies of civilians were recovered and the number is expected to increase.
Earlier before this discovery, head of the Syrian Emergency Task Force said another mass grave outside Damascus containing over 100,000 bodies of people believed to have been killed by ousted Bashar al-Assad was also discovered.

It goes on and on. That raises the question, how many of innocent lives did Bashar take? How about those who were killed under his father, Hafez?
According to Reuters, Mouaz Moustafa, Executive Director of the Syrian Emergency Task Force said the site at al-Qutayfah 40km (25 miles) north of the Syrian capital, was one of five mass graves that he had identified over the years. “One hundred thousand is the most conservative estimate” of the number of bodies buried at the site, said Moustafa.
“It’s a very, very extremely, almost unfairly, conservative estimate.”
Shockingly, Moustafa further said there are more mass graves that did not include Syrian victims alone, but foreigners as well.
That is pure cruelty at its peak demonstrated by a so-called President? A president that should be concerned about the welfare of his people. Well maybe, Bashar and his father had their own definition for a leader.
An estimated hundreds of thousands of Syrians were killed since 2011 when protests against al-Assad’s regime began, sprouting into a full-scale civil war.
Bashar al-Assad preceded his father Hafez who died in 2000, as president. Both are now accused by Syrians, various rights groups and other governments of widespread extrajudicial killings, including mass executions within the country’s notorious prison system.
