Congressman Cohen Questions Experts on Putin’s Complicity in War Crimes in Syrian Civil War

Backing Assad Regime, Russia helps perpetuate ongoing atrocities

WASHINGTON – Congressman Steve Cohen (TN-9), the House Ranking Member of the Helsinki Commission, today offered an opening statement and questioned expert witnesses on the Russian role in perpetuating ongoing atrocities, including war crimes and crimes against humanity, in the Syrian civil war.

Russia supports the Bashar al-Assad regime in its ongoing 13-year civil war and is credibly accused of exacerbating the destabilization of the region and extending aggression against innocent civilian populations. Witness testimony established that Russia’s role in Syria was a rehearsal of the tactics and weapons now being employed in Ukraine. Putin also benefits from the crisis of Syrian refugees attempting to emigrate to Europe, bolstering right-wing political leaders’ anti-immigrant policies.

"For years, our goal has been to establish for the people of Memphis one of the greatest cultural institutions in the country. Today, thanks to the unwavering dedication of many, many supporters, we are closer than ever to making that dream a reality. " says Carl Person, Chair of the Board of Directors at Memphis Brooks Museum of Art, "This portion of our riverfront will soon be home not only to a world-class art museum, but acres of new, open, art-filled, and accessible public space for everyone to enjoy.

We are grateful for the enduring support of everyone who has shared our vision so far and we are thrilled to keep making progress toward our 2026 opening day."
