Authorities in Damascus have arrested three individuals reportedly involved in the Tadamon massacre, where Syrian security forces killed nearly 300 civilians in 2013. Monzer al-Jazairi, one of the arrested, claimed the death toll was closer to 500. The arrests come as part of ongoing efforts to hold accountable those involved in war crimes during Syria's civil war, which has claimed over 300,000 lives. The Tadamon massacre is particularly noted for its shocking documentation by the perpetrators themselves. A technician leaked crucial footage to activists, unveiling the atrocity that occurred amid the conflict.
Footage posted online purported to show one of the men, Monzer al-Jazairi, with his hands bound and being led through the heavily damaged streets of Tadamon.
The massacre at Tadamon has become one of the most infamous for the clarity and detail with which it was documented by regime forces.
