Numerous human bones were removed from the foundations of buildings in the Tadamon Neighborhood, which was reduced to rubble after attacks by the Assad regime in the Al-Midan region of Damascus, the capital of Syria.
“This is the area where the mass grave of the people killed by Amjad Youssef is located. We could not enter here before and we did not know what was inside. They would bring people from outside and say they would kill them here. Maybe they were selling people’s organs for money, we do not know that either. You see how many bodies were found here. There were at least 40 people killed by Amjad Youssef underground. You can find bodies underground on every street. We can find a total of 10 thousand people’s bodies underground in Tadamon,” said Enes Sueydani.
“This was a Turkmen street. All the people were buried in these pits. 250 Turkmen were killed and buried in these pits. They killed and buried everyone, young, old and babies. They killed people, buried them in the pit, and then set them on fire and burned them,” said Favaz Muhammed.
The bones, removed from under almost every building, are being placed in bags by locals to be preserved for DNA matches.
