Sednaya prison, known as a "Death Factory," has been linked to the torture and deaths of thousands under Bashar Assad's regime. Recent investigations have uncovered mass graves, with estimates suggesting that around 100,000 people may have been buried there. The prison was notorious for its brutal conditions, where detainees faced starvation, beatings, and torture. Many prisoners, including women and children, were held to exert pressure on their families. The recent liberation of Sednaya has allowed survivors to emerge, revealing the extent of the trauma they endured. As evidence of the regime's atrocities is documented, calls for accountability and reconciliation are growing. Investigators emphasize the need to preserve evidence of these crimes to ensure justice for the victims and prevent further cycles of violence in Syria.
