Syrian officials stated that military personnel and medical staff removed organs from prisoners held during the previous government. The organs were said to have been used for transplants benefiting individuals connected to senior regime figures. Former medical staff admitted to performing operations on individuals taken by intelligence services.
The procedures involved extracting organs that were then implanted into patients linked to high-ranking officials. A photograph from December 2024 shows an anti-government fighter in Hama firing at a banner displaying the image of the former president. The image was taken outside a municipal building in the west-central city.
