Syrian president Sharaa fostered 'genocidal culture' against minorities, former hostage says

Speaking with FRANCE 24's Sharon Gaffney, Theo Padnos, a journalist who was captured and held for nearly two years in a series of prisons run by Jabhat al-Nusra, the Syrian branch of al Qaeda, says that the current Syrian leadership is like "a fox in the henhouse" and that Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa fostered a "genocidal culture" against minorities, pursuing indiscriminate killings during his years leading jihadist groups.
