WorldSednaya prison survivor recounts torture under Bashar al-Assad’s rule

Sednaya prison, near Damascus, was known in Syria as a “human slaughterhouse.” Thousands were held there during Bashar al-Assad’s rule. Following the fall of the Assad regime, Al Jazeera spoke with former prisoners who were released from the facility. Kanaan Mohamed, arrested in Aleppo in 2006, spent six years in detention, including three and a half years at Sednaya. The report contains descriptions that some viewers may find distressing.
