It's unclear what happened to those children after that.

The orphanage just hadn't asked any questions, and that's where the trail runs cold.

But Anna believes that Asma would have been aware of everything that was going on here.
voice-verified
She claims that Asma was close to the managers she'd appointed to run this place.
voice-verified
They were untouchable.

No one could even say a word to them.

And she tells us that at some point, soon after the fall of the regime, a journalist arrived at the orphanage, asking if they'd had any so-called crisis kids through their doors.

All throughout the war, the regime was releasing PR videos of asthma, often accompanied by this kind of dramatic music.

This was one filmed at SOS Children's Villages, an international orphanage in Damascus with headquarters in Austria.

It's Mother's Day, March 2024, just months before the fall of the regime.

She's standing in SOS villages wearing a floor-length royal purple open kimono, her hair tied back in a neat ponytail at her neck.
voice-verified
She looks striking, dressed more for an opening at a gallery or a museum than a visit to an orphanage.
voice-verified
The video cuts between shots of her smiling down at various children, stroking their hair and handing them chocolate, and she addresses the mothers or carers there.
voice-verified
You're caring for these children, she says, building strong, close-knit families, and you're helping shape a promising, bright future for the young men and women who've been entrusted to you.
voice-verified
She tells them, happy Mother's Day to you and to all the mothers of Syria.
voice-verified
This, by the way, happens to be the very orphanage where Bissan's older son was held.
voice-verified
Asma was there while Bissan was all alone in her cell without her boys.
voice-verified
Later, SOS villagers would accept that around 140 children were placed in its care by the Syrian authorities and that they hadn't followed normal procedures in those cases.
voice-verified
Back in 2018, a few months after her children were taken, Bisane was brought before a judge.
voice-verified
The charge against her was concealing a felony because she hadn't informed on her husband.
