Paris, Dec. 19 (SANA) Farid Almazhan, known as “Caesar,” congratulated the Syrian people on the lifting of the “Caesar Act,” stressing that this step paves the way for reconstruction and opens the doors to investment.
“A major obstacle to investment and reconstruction has been removed, opening the way to build a new state, free and just, politically, socially, and economically, after the Assad dictatorship that destroyed the country and oppressed and killed its people,”Almazhan posted on his Facebook page.
Almazhan described the announcement of the repeal of the “Caesar Act” as a long-awaited joy, addressing the Syrian government by saying: “With the end of the Caesar Act… today is your day, our promising government.”
Almazhan was formerly the head of the forensic evidence office in the Military Police in Damascus. He defected from the former regime’s forces and leaked tens of thousands of photos and documents documenting the regime’s crimes against detainees, while concealing his identity for years under the name “Caesar.” These images provoked international outrage, leading the United States to impose the Caesar Act to hold the regime accountable for its crimes.
