If Saydnaya is indeed taken by rebel forces, please make sure those people inside get the right treatment and are taken care of. They've witnessed the worst of the worst. Also, those stories of what happened inside should be documented immediately in order to start criminal case against Assad.

Sednaya Prison, nicknamed the "Human Slaughterhouse" is a military prison near Damascus in Syria operated by the Syrian government.
That nickname...Can't imagine the horrors that are about to be found when it's liberated.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) estimated in January 2021 that 30,000 detainees have perished in Sednaya from torture, ill-treatment and mass executions since the outbreak of the Syrian Civil War, while Amnesty International estimated in February 2017 "that between 5,000 and 13,000 people were extrajudicially executed at Saydnaya between September 2011 and December 2015."
It is reported that the prisoners thought that they were released by Saddam Hussein's army who invaded Syria. https://t.co/zNKzzgk7bD

Elsewhere some prisoners detained for so long under such isolated conditions that they think Saddam is still alive...
