Syrian Photos Spur OutrageQuillette

Syria 's people have endured a half-century of misery at the hands of a homicidal father-son dictatorship.
Bashar al-Assad's torture regime has been extraordinarily well-documented for more than a decade .
At least five million Syrians have fled the country since its uprising began in 2011 .
Amnesty International has called Sednaya prison a “human slaughterhouse.
In 2013 , 55,000 torture images were smuggled into Syria by anti-regime activists and made their way to Europe , along with a hard drive of torture photos.
Once released and authenticated, the photographs received an enormous amount of publicity and attention.
They elicited comparisons to the stacked bodies found in the Nazi death camps and the killing fields of Cambodia and Rwanda .
But aside from shock and condemnation: nothing happened.
The country has been plagued by coups, instability, and sadistic repression since it declared independence from France in 1946 .
Perhaps Syrians will be lucky enough to avoid the fate of their neighbours in Libya , Iraq , Tunisia , Yemen , and Egypt .
