Ziad Mahmoud al-Amayiri, mourning the loss of ten family members allegedly arrested by the National Defence Forces (NDF) in 2013, threatens to seek justice himself if the government fails to act against Fadi Saqr, a commander linked to past atrocities. Despite Saqr’s denial of wrongdoing, he remains free, raising tensions among residents in Tadamon who demand accountability. As Syria’s interim government struggles with sectarian violence and rising revenge killings, the need for effective transitional justice becomes critical. Two national committees have been established to address past violations and investigate the fate of approximately 300,000 missing persons, but concerns about ongoing disappearances persist.
