Former Prisoner Shares Horrors of Sednaya Prison in Syria
Foiz Al Bezhreh, a former detainee who spent 4.5 years in Syria’s notorious Sednaya Prison, recounts the harrowing experiences of incarceration under the Assad regime. He was imprisoned on charges of collaborating with rebels while his wife was pregnant. His son, Haji, met him for the first time recently. Al Bezhreh describes the brutal conditions in the prison, where dissenters were tortured and kept in appalling conditions, and mentions that the Syrian leadership plans to transform the prison into a museum.
