The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) says rescue teams searching the Sednaya Prison have found the bodies of 15 civilians who were killed after experiencing “brutal torture”.
The London-based monitor said it had documented the deaths of 69 civilians in Syrian government prisons since the beginning of 2024, due to torture and lack of access to healthcare.
The report came as Syrians continue to flock to prisons in search of their missing loved ones. Earlier, the family of renowned Syrian activist Mazen al-Hamada said his body had been found at Sednaya.
