"Walls Have Ears, An Analysis of Classified Syrian Security Sector Documents"
(AP-Washington Post) Sarah El Deeb - Thousands of documents collected from abandoned Syrian government offices during the civil war reveal the reach of President Assad's security agencies as they spied on the population, sought to eliminate dissidents, and systematically persecuted the Kurdish minority. The documents were the basis of a report released Tuesday by the Washington-based Syria Justice and Accountability Center, titled "Walls Have Ears, An Analysis of Classified Syrian Security Sector Documents." The documents offer a rare look into the inner workings of Syrian security agencies as they sought to eliminate dissidents through detention, intimidation or killings.
