damascus:
Bashar-al-Assad ruled Syria for 24 years. During this period, Assad was repeatedly accused of human rights violations. These included allegations of use of chemical weapons in Syria during the war, repression of Kurds and forced disappearance of people, but Assad rejected these allegations every time. But now Assad’s ‘death chamber’ has been exposed. The dead bodies kept in the mortuary themselves are testifying to how brutally Assad used to crush the voices raised against him. Because of this repressive policy, he continued to rule Syria for 24 years. Assad has fled to Russia after the coup in Syria. Rebels have captured the whole of Syria. Rebel fighters told AFP they found about 40 bodies, packed in body bags, inside a hospital morgue near Damascus on Monday. Numbers and names are also written on the bags of these dead bodies. Marks of torture can be clearly seen on these dead bodies. It was heartbreaking to see these marks of torture.
Torture marks on dead bodies…
“I opened the door of the morgue with my bare hands, it was a terrible scene, about 40 bodies lying in a heap, on top of which there were no bodies,” Mohammed al-Haj, a fighter with rebel groups from the south of the country, told AFP by telephone. Marks of terrible torture were visible. AFP has released dozens of photos and video footage. In these, Hajj said that clear signs of torture were visible on the bodies… Many had eyes and teeth protruding, blood was scattered and there were injury marks. Footage taken at Harasta hospital also showed a piece of cloth containing bones, while the rib cage of a decomposing body was visible through the skin. The bodies were placed in white plastic bags and wrapped in white cloth, some of which were stained with blood.
Some of the dead had clothes on, while some…
Mohammed al-Haj, a fighter with the rebel groups, said that on the corpses in the hospital there were pieces of cloth or adhesive tape, on which numbers and sometimes names were written. It seems that some were killed recently. Some of the dead were wearing clothes, while others were naked. Islamist-led rebels seized power on Sunday, ousting former President Bashar al-Assad, whose family ruled Syria for more than five decades.
Assad’s ‘hell world’
The rebels said that Assad had inherited power from his father Hafez. Along with this, a complex of prisons and detention centers was also found, where people were tortured in different ways. It can be called Assad’s hell world, which was used to punish people who went out of the line of the ruling Baath Party. Here people were subjected to unbearable torture. There was a ‘press’ here to crush dead bodies. People were kept in jails for long periods of time and were tortured until they confessed to the truth. Thousands of people hoping to be reunited with loved ones who disappeared in Assad’s prisons gathered at the notorious Sayednaya prison outside Damascus on Monday evening, AFP correspondents said.
People reached outside the hospital for dead bodies of their loved ones
Rebel Haj said that the fighters had received information from a hospital employee about bodies being dumped there. “We informed the military command about what we found and coordinated with the Syrian Red Crescent, which transported the bodies to a Damascus hospital so the families could come and identify them,” he said. Diab Seria, who co-founded the Association of Detainees and the Missing in Sednaya Prison (ADMSP) watchdog, told AFP that the bodies were likely those of Sednaya Prison detainees. Used to serve as the main center for.
According to the British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights war monitor, at least 60,000 people have died under torture or as a result of horrific conditions in Assad’s detention centers. Since the beginning of the conflict in Syria, the government of President Bashar al-Assad has been accused of human rights abuses and cases of torture, rape and kidnapping. Now the truth of Assad’s hell is coming out from the morgues.
