A Syrian whistleblower—who exposed systematic torture and human rights abuses under the Assad regime—has revealed his identity for the first time in an exclusive interview with Al Jazeera. Fared al Madhan, also known as ‘Caesar,’ has confirmed he was behind the largest leak of evidence, exposing thousands of photos documenting mass killings in Syrian prisons. He documented the deaths of at least 6,786 people in detention—showing torture, brutality, and starvation. Madhan was head of the forensic department for the military police in Damascus and the photographer responsible for documenting the bodies of Syrians killed.
Meanwhile, Al Jazeera’s Osama Bin Javaid joins live from Damascus.
