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

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

Families waiting outside rush toward the main gate of the prison as it opens, desperate for any news about their loved ones. 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. Rebels filmed as they entered Sednaya, nestled incongruously in the peaceful hills north of Damascus, alongside a monastery and the country villas of Syrian and Arab elites. Syria, December 10, 2024.

(240206) -- BEIJING, Feb. 6, 2024 (Xinhua) -- This photo taken on Jan. 21, 2024 shows dragon patterns painted on the ceiling of Biyong Hall of Guozijian in Beijing, capital of China. Guozijian is located in the buffer zone of the Beijing Central Axis conservation area. First created in the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368), the Beijing Central Axis, or Zhongzhouxian, stretches 7.8 kilometers between the Yongding Gate in the south of the city and the Drum Tower and Bell Tower in the north. Gates, palaces, temples, squares and gardens of the old city are all linked up to the axis. As the Spring Festival of the Year of the Dragon approaches, many festive elements with the theme of "dragon" have been spotted at the axis of Beijing, bringing citizens and tourists a journey of "dragon" culture through ancient and modern times.
