Anas Hatab, the newly appointed head of Syrian intelligence by the de facto government, announced plans for a complete restructuring of security services known for their oppressive tactics under President Bashar al-Assad. This initiative aims to dismantle old mechanisms of repression and corruption. Since the fall of Assad on December 8, thousands of detainees have been released, while many seek information on missing persons. The legacy of the previous regime’s security apparatus is a major aspect of Syria’s ongoing tragedy, with over 100,000 deaths reported in detention since the conflict began.
