And they told me that ASMA created a network to capture as much of the humanitarian and development assistance coming into the country as possible.

They told me that UN food was being sold for cash in local markets by people working for the regime.

This was a moral dilemma discussed within UN agencies, but ultimately it was decided that it was worth it if a few needy people might still be helped.
voice-verified
Meanwhile, UN agencies had ongoing partnerships with the Syria Trust to, among other things, provide legal aid as well as psychological and social support for people displaced by the war.

In other words, Asma's organisation was providing support for people whose homes her husband was bombing.

And while most people were going hungry, lots and lots of money was rolling into Asma's organisations.

Jihad painted a chilling picture of Asma, a ruthless, cutthroat woman who had made a deliberate, calculated choice.
voice-verified
A thug, as he says, and very much one of the Assad clan.

But Asma's father, Dr Akhraz, told me that this picture, which presents his daughter through a narrow lens of power, ambition and wrongdoing, doesn't reflect the person that he knows, nor the humanitarian and development work that she's undertaken in over two decades.
voice-verified
And that these accusations about Asma's business and economic interests in Syria have never been substantiated with evidence.
voice-verified
He also said that the allegation that Asma created a network to capture humanitarian or development assistance entering Syria isn't true and that no financial record, audit finding or similar verifiable material exists to prove otherwise.

More than 27,000 images made it out of Syria.
voice-verified
Among those, around 6,700 individuals were identifiable as people who had been murdered, most of whom had been starved, beaten or strangled to death.
voice-verified
And in January 2014, Osama and Farid released the images to the world.
voice-verified
Bashar, of course, denied the photos were real.
voice-verified
But he wasn't convincing the rest of the world.
voice-verified
For the first time, the international community could finally appreciate the full horror of what was going on in Syria.
voice-verified
Even in the relative safety of the West, Farid and Osama were still so scared of the long arm of the regime reaching them that they were known to everyone but a handful of lawyers and opposition activists by pseudonyms.
