Damascus Airport Plans Stir Mass-Grave Fears
x/bashar-al-assad
— 6d
Syria’s plan to turn Mezzeh military airport in Damascus into a private-jet hub has rights groups and locals alarmed that redevelopment could disturb grave sites and undermine private land claims tied to decades of expropriation. Documents obtained by the Syria Justice and Accountability Centre indicate executions and detentions were carried out at Mezzeh during the Assad era, prompting calls to halt construction to preserve evidence while the new authorities weigh investment with historic injustices.

The new government should settle the old land claims first instead of rushing to turn the site into a private jet airport.
