It's already been one year since the coastal attacks in Syria, when clashes between Assad regime remnants and government and government-aligned security forces spiraled into a harrowing campaign of massacres targeting primarily Alawi civilian communities. (1)

Since late 2024, Egypt has been increasingly carrying out a troubling, widespread crackdown on migrants, particularly on refugees and asylum seekers from Syria and Sudan. Reports of random street stops, identity checks on public transport, and home raids have recently surged. 1\7

من هو الشهيد في سوريا الجديدة؟ هل تقبل بعض الفئات نزع هذه الصفة عمّن نالها في عصر الأسد؟ وهل تُبقي الدولة الجديدة على هذه الصفة لمن قاتل ضدها؟
في لقاء مع @Daraj_media، ناقش مدير وحدتنا القانونية @OKurdali حقوق الضحايا، وسبل إنصافهم وتخليد ذكراهم دون تمييز.

Syrians deserve to thrive. They deserve every chance to rebuild their country, live with dignity, and enjoy the basic standards of a humane life..
Today, @POTUS announced the cessation of sanctions against Syria.
This is a positive step TIMEP has been advocating for since the fall of the regime and as recently as last week. We look forward to seeing the steps taken to implement this announcement timep.org/2025/05/09/joint-l…

Important study by @SJAC_info on the Mezzeh Detention Facility. Includes how more than 28,000 people were detained over just 5 years, more than 1,000 confirmed killed

In this article, @HenishHalem and I examine Egypt’s problematic asylum law. While the law appears to align with Egypt's international obligations, a closer look at its provisions reveals serious risks that jeopardize the rights of asylum seekers and refugees in the country.
NEW: Egypt’s new asylum law sparks criticism amid concerns that certain provisions grant Egyptian authorities sweeping powers, potentially violating refugees' and asylum seekers' rights. TIMEP's @OKurdali and @HenishHalem analyze the law's key flaws.

Syria is a complex context, and the word "transition" falls short of describing its multilayered complexities. I was honored to moderate the outstanding conversation with @muznadureid, @WafaMustafa9, @Karam__Shaar, and @putintintin1 on unpacking the post-Assad transition in Syria
