YouTube Description
as posted by the channelSyrian rebels have freed prisoners — including toddlers — from a jam-packed notorious prison dubbed the “human slaughterhouse,” where the Assad regime allegedly used an “iron press’’ to pulverize bodies.
The Saydnaya military prison just outside of Damascus was emptied by insurgents over the weekend as the rebels took over the Syrian capital and forced dictator Bash al-Assad to flee the country for Moscow.
Videos on social media showed haggard inmates in tattered clothes screaming in celebration when the rebel troops told them they were being freed from the infamous jail, where the Assad regime tortured and executed its political enemies.
“Don’t be afraid! … Bashar Assad has fallen! Why are you afraid?” said one of the rebels as he tried to rush the scores of inmates — including women with their young chilcren — out of their tiny confines at the horrific site, called the “human slaughterhouse” by human-rights groups.
