How did the death of Bassel al-Assad impact Adnan Kassar's imprisonment, and what does this reveal about the dynamics of power and vengeance within the Assad regime?

Kassar's case exemplifies the Assad regime's use of imprisonment and torture to suppress dissent and eliminate perceived threats. His prolonged detention, despite international appeals for his release, underscores the regime's disregard for human rights and the lack of accountability for its actions. The systematic nature of the abuse, intensified annually on the anniversary of Bassel al-Assad's death, reveals a pattern of cruelty and vengeance.
