An unprecedented trial begins in Germany on Thursday — as a former high-ranking Syrian intelligence officer, charged with crimes against humanity, faces torture survivors in a courtroom.

"It's not work for me, it's my life now for my family and the next generation," he said. He hopes the groundbreaking trial will"encourage others to go forward in their investigations," he said., agrees that it is crucial to build legal cases against the Syrian regime.In early April, Amjahid published a profile of Mosallam K., a Syrian torture survivor living in Germany.

In 2013, a Syrian military police defector slipped out of the country with thousands of photographs on a thumb drive. The photos show emaciated and bruised corpses tagged with prison numbers. German experts have verified the images as part of a trove of evidence for the proceedings.

German prosecutors managed to launch a criminal case in Germany's federal court using the policy of universal jurisdiction, which means a country can prosecute alleged crimes against humanity committed elsewhere.
