If you were watching @jeopardyofficial.bsky.social on Monday night, you might have caught an ICIJ-related clue... "What are the #PanamaPapers?" was the answer worth $600!

Then one afternoon in July 2024, as she was sitting in the infusion chair, ready for her next dose, a staff member walked in and told her her insurance had denied further coverage.

Piya never tested her mother’s medication, never suspected it could be fake. But the news planted a terrible fear in her mind: that she had possibly given her mother fake drugs. “I just felt so numb,” Piya said.

Gurung was on the medication for two months, but it made no difference. On Feb. 9, 2023, after enduring 2½ years of grueling chemotherapy, radiation and immunotherapy, she died at home with her elder daughter and Piya by her side.

Piya had moved back to Nepal from Cleveland for six months. There she cared for her 63-year-old mother, Sita Gurung. She paid thousands of dollars toward Gurung’s more than $40,000 treatment. At the end of 2022, Gurung's health worsened.

After Bhinnata Piya’s mother was diagnosed with esophageal cancer in 2020, Piya was determined to be a supportive caregiver. Her father had died of the same type of cancer only three years earlier, and the loss devastated the tight-knit Nepalese family. www.icij.org/investigatio...

Now, internal documents reveal the company was secretly owned by the intelligence services of former President Bashar Assad’s regime. As the United Nations poured money into the firm, those intelligence services were engaged in a violent campaign to crush opposition.

Hidden within a drab Damascus shopping center sits the unmarked office of Shorouk for Protection, Guarding and Security Services — an unassuming security company that raked in at least $11 million from the United Nations to protect U.N. offices during the Syrian civil war.

Imad’s death certificate, found among more than 134,000 leaked Syrian intelligence records, confirmed the worst. It was dated Aug. 14, 2012, just 10 days after the raid on their parents’ home.

When the Assad regime collapsed in December 2024, Thaer's family was one of thousands of Syrians who flocked to prisons, hospitals and mass grave sites, looking for clues about their loved ones’ fates. Like many others, they came up empty.

Two days later, officers smashed through the family’s front door and hauled Imad away to prison. Thaer, now 57, searched for his brother for 13 years.

When the revolution against President Bashar Assad erupted in 2011, Thaer and Imad al-Najjar supported peaceful protests calling for the end of his regime. After Assad’s security forces fired on protesters in the Syrian capital, Thaer joined the nascent armed rebellion.

The cache of photos is the largest collection of images of Syrian prisoners ever obtained by journalists. Taken by military photographers, the images show detainees who perished in regime hospitals and prisons. Until now, the Syrian public had no knowledge of these images.

Introducing the #DamascusDossier investigation: A collaboration from ICIJ, @recherche.ndr.de and 24 media partners in 20 countries uncovers harrowing new details about former Syrian president Bashar Assad’s regime and one of the most brutal state-run killing systems of the 21st century.

#DamascusDossier, a new investigation led by ICIJ and NDR in collaboration with 24 media partners into the crimes of the Assad regime, is coming tomorrow. Sign up to get the stories in your inbox: buff.ly/Muc8HY2
