At least 60,000 deaths in Syrian prisons: Report
There have been at least 60,000 deaths in Syrian government prisons since 2011, said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights on Saturday. The deaths were due to "torture" or "horrible conditions" including "the lack of medication or food, in regime detention centres," it said. The government has arrested 5,00,000 people since the conflict erupted five years ago, the Observatory added.
