YouTube Description
as posted by the channelSyria's systematic torture of prisoners has inflicted untold horrors on tens of thousands of people. The Syrian Network for Human Rights counted around 128,000 people who have been imprisoned by security forces and not released — 81,000 of them haven't been heard from at all. "It does sort of make you ask yourself a lot of questions about humanity and how this kind of thing can continue to happen in the 21st century," says New York Times reporter Anne Barnard, the paper's former Beirut bureau chief, who published a seven-year investigation into the Assad torture machine.
