The Syrian “Fact-Finding Committee” has gathered over 95 testimonies and analyzed 93 video clips regarding recent events on the Syrian coast. According to the committee’s spokesperson, Yasser Al-Farhan, reported by SANA, their fieldwork began on March 14 in Latakia, where they interviewed hundreds of families and witnesses. The committee has also received over 30 direct reports and collaborated with UN bodies, though it remains too early to announce conclusions.

The committee will continue its investigations in Latakia and later extend to Tartous, Baniyas, Hama, and Idlib. Despite no direct threats, the committee acknowledged ongoing risks due to individuals involved in crimes against humanity. Al-Farhan also highlighted that Syria’s Transitional Justice Law could establish a national court for war crimes. Meanwhile, the UNHCR reported 21,000 Syrians fled to Lebanon in March.
