Fri Feb 07 19:02:15 UTC 2025: ## Syrian “Caesar” Reveals Identity, Calls for Sanctions Relief
**DOHA, QATAR** – Fared al Madhan, the Syrian whistleblower known internationally as “Caesar,” has publicly revealed his identity for the first time in an exclusive interview with Al Jazeera. Al Madhan, whose photographic evidence of systematic torture and murder in Syrian government prisons played a pivotal role in exposing the Assad regime’s atrocities, is now calling for the international sanctions imposed in his name – the Caesar Act – to be lifted. He argues that the sanctions, while intended to pressure the regime, are ultimately harming the Syrian people and hindering their ability to rebuild their lives. The interview promises to be a significant development in the ongoing Syrian conflict, reigniting debate about the effectiveness and impact of international sanctions.
