Child freed from Sednaya prison as rebels storm facility following Assad's departure

A child scheduled for execution was freed from Sednaya prison after rebels stormed the facility. This event occurred following the departure of President Bashar Al Assad, marking a significant change in Syria's political landscape. The White Helmets rescue group is now searching for hidden cells within the prison. They used a map from a defected officer to locate potential areas where detainees might be held. Sednaya prison, known for its harsh conditions, reportedly held up to 20,000 prisoners, many detained after brief trials. Rescue efforts continue, but initial searches have not revealed additional prisoners.
