Farid Almazhan

whistleblower

Farid Almazhan, a former Syrian military officer, has become a prominent whistleblower exposing the atrocities committed by Bashar al-Assad's regime during the Syrian civil war. Over two years, he collected evidence of horrific crimes, including the torture and killing of civilians, while risking his life to smuggle more than 26,000 high-resolution photographs out of Syria. Known by the alias 'Cezar,' his revelations were pivotal in altering the international community's perception of Assad, leading to increased calls for accountability. Now living in France, Almazhan continues to advocate for justice for the victims, expressing concerns over the potential for amnesty for those responsible for the atrocities.
