In a dilapidated Y-shaped military prison near Damascus, the Syrian government quietly and brutally executed its own people, according to an alarming report released by Amnesty International. The 48-page report claims Syria secretly carried out mass hangings at the Saydnaya Military Prison to eliminate those who spoke out against the government. One former prison guard told Amnesty International that “Saydnaya is the end of life – the end of humanity.”There are two detention centers at Saydnaya Military Prison, which, according to the report, may hold up to 20,000 people. “We believe these practices are known about and approved by the highest level of the Syrian government,” Waldman told Fox News. While the report only looked at one prison, Waldman said the group would not be surprised if similar executions were being carried out other Syrian prisons.
