A Syrian bulldozer driver reveals the horrifying details of burying thousands in secret mass graves.

The Informer is haunted by the mass graves he dug for victims killed by Bashar al-Assad’s regime.

As the revolution unfolded, his municipal role changed into a military position overnight.

This meant, for a year, the Informer was pushing dead bodies into large pits with his bulldozer. He recalls the stench of the bodies being so strong that he’d passed out the first time.

The Informer was later arrested on flimsy charges and imprisoned under brutal conditions because “if he dies, he will die with all of his secrets and knowledge”.
