Bild – Saidnaya Prison, Liberation and Grim Evidence of Assad’s Regime

This graphic highlights the infamous Saidnaya Prison, known as a central hub of torture and executions under Bashar al-Assad’s regime. Located near Damascus, the prison housed both civilian detainees and military personnel accused of opposition activities. The map shows key facilities, such as the “Red Building” for civilians and the “White Building” for military personnel, along with execution chambers. Nearby, mass graves bear witness to the systemic killings. The release of thousands of detainees in December 2024 brought attention to these atrocities. The data sources include AI analysis, Amnesty International reports, and cartographic tools.
