Al-Assad’s atrocities in Syria will spark 'bigger investigation than the Nuremberg war trials' Discarded shoes lie in a Syrian prison described as a human slaughterhouse, in a flashback to some of humanity’s darkest hours.
As experts begin counting the human toll of Bashar al-Assad’s regime, one warned that a probe will be bigger than the Nuremberg trials of Nazis in the wake of the Second World War.
After Assad fled to Moscow with wife Asma and children Hafez, 21, Zein, 20, and Karim, 19, a worldwide search has been under way for his henchmen.
Along with piles of clothes and shoes left behind by Assad’s victims, there are bone saws, crush tables and other torture devices.
Bill Wiley, of the Commission for International Justice and Accountability, has collected 1.3 million documents that span Assad’s reign.
