The facility, located just 30 km from Damascus, epitomized the repression of Bashar al-Assad's regime, with Amnesty International estimating the horrific occurrence of up to 13,000 extrajudicial executions carried out between 2011 and 2016. Inmates faced intense and brutal torture practices, some as extreme as forced cannibalism, highlighting the severity of human rights violations in Syria. This facility has become a chilling symbol of the brutality wielded by the regime against its own people.
Human rights organizations are now rallying for global intervention and accountability, calling attention to the regime's gross violations of human rights. With rebels actively releasing prisoners, the narrative shifts, creating a pressing need for justice for the survivors and the families of those who lost their lives to the regime's brutality. Survivors are bravely voicing their stories, and there is a growing movement among the families seeking justice and resolution regarding the plight of their loved ones.
