Dictator Bashar al-Assad is said to have been confirmed to have died of torture during the rule of former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

This is only for those who have been confirmed dead by bodies and others, not the entire Assad family dictatorship that lasted 54 years, but only from March 2011 to July this year, when a large-scale crackdown on anti-government protests that spread to civil war began.According to the Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR) on the 18th

, more than 100,000 people have disappeared and have not been identified, and almost all have already died, including from torture.

The U.N. estimates that more than 306,000 civilians have been killed in Syria between 2011 and 2021, half of whom have no confirmed records of deaths.

In the midst of this, it has been claimed that at least five secret burial sites have been found where they are buried.Mouaz Mustafa, head of the U.S.-based human rights group "Syrian Emergency Task Force" (SETF), said this, according to Reuters, one of which is in Al-Qutaifa, 40 kilometers north of the Syrian capital Damascus.

Mustafa estimated that at least 100,000 people were buried in secret, citing only this one place.

"The 100,000 is the most conservative estimate," he said. "It is very, extremely, almost unfair."

Other media have described the burial site as the largest collective tomb of the 21st century.
