Russians have released a propaganda video in which Russian air defense shoots down Santa Claus over Moscow. You couldn't have picked a worse time to release this video on purpose.

It's as we all feared. They just discovered a massive pile of bodies in the dungeons of #Sednaya. Former regime troops seems to have started executing detainees in large numbers as rebels were closing in on #Damascus. #Syria.

Remembering 2018, when a previously unseen Monty Python character passionately defended Bashar al-Assad. 😂

Moammar has been searching for his brother for 39 years, arrested by Syrian soldiers in Lebanon when he was 18. He hadn’t heard anything from him since. Until Thursday, when his brother emerged from Hama prison as an old man, 39 years later. theguardian.com/world/2024/d…

they are still now in #SednayaPrison and they do not know what is happening outside. People are still trying to search underground to find them. #Syria

Remembering all my friends from Homs who looked after us in the dark days of 2012 when Marie was killed and we were all so badly wounded. You never gave up on us, and many never made it through. Thank you all and enjoy the sweet taste of freedom. Shukran 🙏 ❤️❤️ #Syria #Homs – at Ukraine

Syrians are still being broken out of #Assad’s infamous #Saydnaya prison — as each layer underground is being accessed with time. Extraordinary scenes.

The images coming out Sednaya Prison should haunt us for ages to come, thousands trapped beneath layers of structures, never seeing the light of day. Detainees held without charge in solitary confinement, left to rot. This is the "Human Slaughterhouse" of Syria.

Pleased for Syria, but do remember when you tweet that lots of talented Alawite SPADs and advisors have lost their jobs today. As for Assad he will be gutted after giving it his all for years
