Shocking Scene: Toddlers among freed inmates at Syrian notorious prison ‘Human Slaughterhouse’

Evidence of Atrocities
Reports from Saydnaya highlight the brutal practices within the prison. Human rights organizations have documented frequent executions and torture. Amnesty International estimates that 13,000 individuals were killed in the prison between 2011 and 2016.
Search for Hidden Detainees
Despite the liberation, tens of thousands of prisoners remain missing. Many are believed to be held in hidden underground cells. The Syrian civil defense group, known as the White Helmets, has deployed specialized teams to locate these detainees. Access to certain areas of the prison remains restricted due to electronic locks, and rebel forces are appealing to former guards for assistance.
