She lost 5 brothers to Syria’s war – Now she’s fighting for justice at the UN

Yasmen Almashan, who lost five brothers during Syria's war, is addressing the United Nations as a member of the Syrian National Commission for Transitional Justice to demand accountability and promote national reconciliation. More than 130,000 Syrians disappeared under the Assad regime, according to the commission. Almashan's testimony represents part of broader efforts to document war crimes and seek justice for families of the disappeared. Her advocacy work aims to pressure international bodies to investigate the mass disappearances and hold perpetrators accountable.
