Rebels Liberate Sednaya Prison From Assad's Sadistic Grip - Syria

Investigators, civilians, and rebels search through Sednaya Prison, hoping to uncover hidden compartments where detainees might still be held. Outside, hundreds of families anxiously wait for news of their missing or disappeared loved ones, clinging to the hope of a reunion. More than 30,000 people were killed over decades in the ‘human slaughterhouse’ outside Damascus where the regime sought to suppress dissent by execution. Sednaya, the infamous “human slaughterhouse” outside Damascus, was where thousands of regime opponents had been locked up, tortured and killed from the earliest days of the 2011 uprising to the long brutal years of civil war.
