Torture victims | Two prisoners from Idlib and Homs die under torture in regime prisons

Syrian Observatory activists have documented the death of two prisoners under torture after eight years of detention in the regime’s prisons. One of the two victims is from Al-Sukhnah area in the eastern countryside of Homs, while the other is from Ninnish city in rural Idlib.

 

As more people died, the number of civilians who have died under torture in regime’s prisons since the beginning of the Syrian revolution, rose to 16,207 fatalities documented by names: 16,018 men and young men, 125 children under the age of eighteen, and 64 women over the age of eighteen.

 

 Reliable sources have informed the Syrian Observatory that the number of people who were killed, executed and died in regime’s prisons exceeded 104,000 people. Over 83% of the total toll were killed, and died in these prisons between May 2013 and October 2015. SOHR sources have also confirmed that more than 30,000 detainees were killed in the notorious prison of Sednaya, while the second largest percentage of killing was in the Air Force Intelligence department.
