Syrian state torture: opportunities and challenges

The world looks to Syria since mid-December. The HTS rebels
overthrow the Assad regime. They free thousands of prisoners and
put an end to state torture and executions for the time being.
While the new rulers are still sorting themselves out, they are
also dealing with the processing and prosecution of tens of
thousands of horrific acts of torture and murder. This podcast
episode is about precisely this reappraisal. What could it look
like? Where could it take place? And how do people in Syria look on
this topic? ARD justice-reporter Philip Raillon spoke to Syrian
human rights lawyer Anwar Albuni in Berlin about it. SWR colleague
Ute Brucker describes her fresh impressions from Syria. ARD legal
editorial-expert Frank Bräutigam explains why rulings issued by the
Koblenz Higher Regional Court are important concerning this
subject. The episode also features an extra edition of the
ARD-television show Weltspiegel. You can watch it in the ARD
Mediathek, but it is only available in German.
