Arrested over three years ago | Civilian from eastern Ghouta dies under torture in Saydnaya prison

Rif Dimashq province: SOHR sources have reported that an old man from Kafr Batna town in eastern Ghouta died under torture in Saydnaya notorious prison. It is worth noting that the man was arrested after regime forces captured eastern Ghouta in March 2018 and was imprisoned for over three years, while his family was informed of the man’s death a few days ago.

 

SOHR has documented the death of 47,511 civilians under torture in regime’s prisons since the beginning of the Syrian revolution, all documented by names: 47,108 men and young men, 339 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 killed, executed and/or died in regime prisons exceeded 104,000 people. Over 83% of the total death toll were killed and/or 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 alone, while the second largest percentage of killing occurred in the Air Force Intelligence detention facilities or prisons.
