A secret prison run by the Syrian government has been exposed, shedding light on the regime’s brutal tactics against its citizens. Special correspondent Simona Foltyn gained access to one of the intelligence branches responsible for detaining and silencing hundreds of thousands of Syrians.
According to reports from within the intelligence branch, those taken away never returned. The prison’s existence was hidden even from many within the government. However, through Foltyn’s investigation, evidence of its operations has come to light.
Details about the prison are scarce, but accounts suggest it is a place where opposition figures, activists, and ordinary citizens were detained without trial or access to basic human rights. The exact number of victims remains unknown, as many records were destroyed or remain classified.
Foltyn’s reporting sheds new light on the regime’s extensive surveillance network and its role in maintaining control through fear and intimidation.
