DAMASCUS – In an extraordinary exchange with Yahoo News, Syrian president Bashar Assad was confronted with so-called “photographs documenting the torture of political prisoners by his government”. The Syrian president dismissed them as “allegations” and “fake news.”
photos.
“Who verified the pictures? Who verified that they’re not edited and Photoshopped and so on?” Assad asked a reporter. “Do you have a photo? Can you show it to me?”
Assad was handed three of the photos and given a copy of an FBI lab report that concluded the photos showed no signs of manipulation and “appear to depict real people and events.” “If the FBI says something, it’s not evidence for anyone, especially for us,” he retorted. “It’s just propaganda. It’s just fake news. They want to demonize the Syrian government. In every war, you can have individual crime. It happened here, all over the world, anywhere. But it’s not a policy.”
