The autumn of Syria’s chief in December opened the doorways to an enormous community of detention facilities and prisons throughout the nation, uncovering additional proof of the true scale of killings below former president Bashar al-Assad.
On this episode of The Sunday Story, NPR’s Ruth Sherlock takes us to a infamous jail the place hundreds had been detained and killed, and he or she visits a suspected mass gravesite outdoors Damascus. She meets former prisoners and people pressured to play a job in what has been referred to as the regime’s “equipment of demise.”
This episode was produced by Justine Yan and edited by Jenny Schmidt. The engineer was Gilly Moon.
