And as soon as HTS are done torturing people, I am sure we will hear all abouabout “Assad’s torture city”.

Meanwhile, the US has an actual torture city in Cuba lol

    I wonder what the purpose of such atrocity propaganda is after the goals of the empire have already been achieved? To make HTS look like the good guys without needing to censor what’s reported on them as much?

      Precisely. Jolani had a “great” interview on CNN where he showed everyone how freedom-loving, democratic and human-rights-respecting ISIS can be. The news also made a big deal of HTS releasing women prisoners.

      Funnily enough, refugee camps in Syria are full of families of former ISIS fighters, some of them foreign nationals who aren’t allowed to their home country because they fear the wife and children have been radicalised. I wonder if those are the kinds of women prisoners HTS has freed. According to reports there were children in the prisons too, so that could explain it.

        I wonder if they will allow Shamima Begum to return to the UK now that she is free from the evil Assad regime.

          It’s gonna be interesting to see EU justify rejecting asylum applications from Syrians on the basis that ISIS is now in power and they should return home.

      The purpose is to keep up the narrative that terrorist proxies defeating Assad is a good thing and to drown out possible criticism. After all how can you be against the side that liberated this TORTURE PRISON??? Our media even dubbed it ‘the slaughterhouse’ for dramatic effects.

        Same playbook as Libya. “Don’t think too hard about the people who overthrew Gaddafi or the ones who replaced him, what’s important is he was so cartoonishly evil that literally anyone is better.”

      Distraction while the zios take half of Syria. Don’t ask CNN about Sde Temain though or the tens of thousands of prisoners in their prisons including children.

    dozens of stories on this and yet the riots in favor of punitive rape of detainess in Isntreal and the torture at Sde Teiman get buried in the last paragraph of a single NYT article if they get covered at all
