Syrian airport plans spark grave land concerns
The Syrian government intends to convert the former Military Airport of Mazzah in Damascus into a civilian airport designated for private and executive flights, to complement Damascus International Airport, as renovation and infrastructure work begin. Human rights documents indicate that during Assad's regimes, the airport was used to carry out secret executions of detainees, as well as for detention and torture. It is believed that mass graves are associated with more than 1,150 victims, with calls for investigations and protection of the site. Residents and human rights experts oppose developing the airport on lands confiscated without compensation, which has led to protests and growing fears of damage to the graves and evidence, amid authorities' ignoring of landowners’ demands and the rights of the disappeared families.
