Anadola’s film crew documented the area where, according to the materials published in 2022, later called the “Tadamon massacre”, the forces of the overthrown regime killed civilians and dumped their bodies into the moat.
on the spot it was found that the moat, in which the killed in 2013 were dropped, was filled, and human bones are scattered on the surface of the earth around the earth.
In an abandoned building where executions were made, and its environs are visible piles of garbage and construction waste. 20 meters from the building among the ruins are also discovered the remains of people.
A resident of the Tadamon district, the 40-year-old Turkman Abdurrahman Muhammad, said that he lived here with a family of five. According to him, the regime brutally treated the Turkmens living in this area: everyone who was identified as Turkmenov was arrested and then killed.
Muhammad also mentioned that the militants of the regime, known as Shabikha, killed Turkmenov right on the streets without transferring them to court.
He shared a tragic story about his relative, who was detained and subjected to torture. “They gag their eyes, pulled out his teeth, broke their fingers and threw it in front of his children as an awesome example,” he said.
Muhammad added that he knows six children who were arrested and then “cut and burned.” He emphasized that many Turkmen left their homes, escaping from atrocities.
The regime also bombed the houses of local residents and destroyed them with explosives. Those who wanted to return were forced to pay large amounts.
Another resident of Tadamon, Abdullah Tuma, said that his family was forced to leave the district in 2011. He himself paid 18 million Syrian lire to return his house, and for the liberation of his brother’s house, he demanded another 50 million lires.
“I can survive the death of my brother, but the fate of his children tears my heart. The youngest was three months old, the oldest – five years,” Tuma added, emphasizing that mass killings continued in front of everyone.
