How Syria's dictatorship used a global child welfare charity to 'disappear' children

The article reveals how the Assad regime in Syria exploited a global child welfare charity to conceal the whereabouts of children whose parents had been detained. According to the investigation, the regime coerced the charity to take custody of these children, effectively "disappearing" them from their families. The article highlights the charity's role in facilitating this practice, which enabled the regime to obscure the fate of detainees and their children. It also suggests that the charity may have been complicit in this scheme, potentially violating its own principles and international laws. The revelation underscores the Syrian government's systematic abuse of power and disregard for human rights, particularly in the context of the ongoing conflict. The article emphasizes the need for greater transparency and accountability within the humanitarian sector to prevent such exploitation of vulnerable populations.
