A secret document reveals that the Syrian regime was aware of Caesar's identity.

A leaked official document from the former Syrian regime has revealed sensitive information regarding the persona of "Caesar," known as "Ferid the Distinguished." The document indicated that the regime was aware of his defection and made plans to deal with the images he had published. "Ferid the Distinguished" is a prominent figure who contributed to exposing human rights violations in Syria by leaking thousands of photos documenting torture and killings endured by detainees in Syrian prisons. The photos released by "Caesar" caused a global uproar and were relied upon by many human rights organizations to support their causes and demands for justice. The document suggests that the former regime recognized the significant importance of these photos and began strategizing to discredit and minimize their impact on both local and international public opinion. According to available information, the regime tasked some media experts to find ways to cast doubt on the authenticity of these photos and provide counter-narratives to protect its image internationally. These revelations come at a time when calls for international investigations into the violations committed by the Syrian regime are increasing, reflecting the level of awareness and concern the regime had regarding "Caesar's" leaks. This document has raised questions about the regime's ability to conceal the truth and how it attempted from the outset to control information revealing the atrocities committed against the Syrian people.
