September 21, 2022 @ 5:00 pm - September 23, 2022 @ 6:30 pm UTC-4
About this event
The Syrian Emergency Task Force (SETF), in partnership with the University of Arkansas in Little Rock (UALR), is hosting a three-day Caesar exhibit from September 21 to 23, 2022, on documented human rights atrocities and mass graves in Syria.
The Caesar Exhibit is a traveling exhibit that showcases 30 photographs of the 55,000 smuggled out of Syria by a former Syrian military photographer, pseudonym “Caesar,” documenting the brutal torture of thousands of men, women, and children by the Assad regime inside its prisons. Caesar’s photos constitute first-hand documentation of the scale and brutality of the atrocities perpetrated by the Assad regime. They have been verified by the FBI’s International Human Rights Unit (IHRU). These photographs and other documents, known as the “Caesar files”, currently serve as key evidence in many prosecution cases against members of the Assad regime.
The Caesar exhibit will be concluded by a panel of experts on Friday, September 23, 2022, at 5 pm. The panelists will discuss a range of topics related to justice and accountability concerning the Caesar files.
Panelists:
- Congressman French Hill, U.S. Rep. for Arkansas’s 2nd Congressional District
- Mouaz Moustafa, Executive Director, Syrian Emergency Task Force
- Omar Alshogre, Syrian activist and former political detainee
