Following the resounding fall of Bashar al-Assad’s regime in Syria, Syrians are increasingly demanding the prosecution of former officials of the ousted regime. The list includes prominent former Assad military officials who have committed and contributed to killings and violations over the years, from the use of chemical weapons against Syrians to bombings and torture of detainees.

The prisons of the Assad regime are a symbol of the cruelty and brutality practiced against thousands of Syrian detainees, who lived in the hell of torture and abuse on a daily basis. But what was happening behind the walls of these prisons exceeded the limits of imagination.

The prison is located near the Saidnaya Monastery, 30 kilometers north of the capital Damascus. It was built in 1987 and is divided into two parts. The first part is known as the “Red Building,” which is designated for political and civilian detainees, while the second part is known as the “White Building,” which is designated for military prisoners.

A Houthi activist working in the media mobilization of the militia revealed that he was subjected to severe torture in the Houthi militia prisons in Sana'a during his detention during the past period.

A sixty-year-old citizen died under torture in the prisons of the terrorist Houthi militia in Al Bayda Governorate (central Yemen).

Human Rights Watch called on Thursday for urgent international intervention to rescue the abductees in the prisons of the Houthi militia in Yemen, after the death of a number of abductees, the issuance of death sentences against dozens, and the referral of others to trial after they were accused of crimes punishable by death.
