'Industrial scale torture by Assad regime' claim

The Commission for International Justice and Accountability - an independent investigative body hoping to build a case for the prosecution of President Bashar Assad for war crimes - say their team have amassed the strongest evidence 'since Nuremberg' tying the Assad regime to torture and killings on a near industrial scale. The commission and its team of dozens of Syrian investigators have been smuggling documents out of Syria. Ben Taub, a contributor to the New Yorker magazine, was given access to the CIJA's office.
