Part 2/8:
Volker Turk commenced his discussion with a focus on Syria, where the recent changes in authority have sparked discussions about justice and human rights. He reflected on the heart-wrenching images of prisoners being released from notorious facilities such as the Sida jail near Damascus. For many families, this moment reignites hope, especially as over 300,000 individuals are still unaccounted for. Turk stated, "you can imagine how people feel at this point in time when they have a chance to go into the prisons and find their loved ones."
