Up to 13000 secretly hanged in Syrian jail in 5 yrs: Amnesty
A report by human rights organisation Amnesty International states up to 13,000 anti-government protestors were secretly hanged in Syria's Saydnaya prison from 2011 to 2015. The report, Human Slaughterhouse, is based on interviews of former guards who were posted at buildings detaining protestors. Interviewees claimed 20 to 50 people were hanged weekly after sham trials before a military court.
