Syrians demand justice for crimes committed during the Assad regime.
Syria’s new administration is pledging accountability for crimes committed during the al-Assad family’s rule.
About 150,000 people were detained and forcibly disappeared since the crackdown on pro-democracy rallies in 2011 that set off the war.
Many are believed to have been killed. Those who survived bear physical or psychological scars.
