New scandals about al-Assad continue to surface following the fall of his 24-year rule, portraying him not only as “bloodthirsty” but also as “stubborn” and a “blatant money collector,” exploiting Syrians with open and oppressive tactics.

The fall of al-Assad’s regime has led to ongoing efforts to uncover the fate of thousands of detainees and missing persons from various Arab nations held under his rule.

With Assad's prisons crumbling, Egypt now stands as the region's largest detention center, holding the highest number of detainees, surpassing even the Palestinians in Israeli prisons.
