Torture victim | Two civilians from Idlib countryside die in regime prison

Idlib province: SOHR sources have reported the death of two civilians from Idlib countryside due to brutal torture. The two men were arrested a few years ago in two different areas.

 

It is worth noting that the family of one of the two victims, who was from Jarjnaz, were able to verify his death in regime prison in 2014, three years after he was arrested at Aleppo University.

 

While the other man was from Jisr Al-Shoughour and he died under torture in Saydnaya prison.

 

SOHR has documented the death of 47,519 civilians under torture in regime’s prisons since the beginning of the Syrian revolution, all documented by names: 47,116 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 Saydnaya alone, while the second largest percentage of killing occurred in the Air Force Intelligence detention facilities or prisons.
