This video explores the shocking legacy of brutality under Bashar al-Assad’s regime, which spanned several decades and culminated in a brutal crackdown during the Syrian Civil War.

Through satellite imagery, survivor testimonies, and investigative reporting, it unveils the vast network of torture, executions, and disappearances orchestrated by the Syrian government.

The focus is on notorious prisons like the Zed prison, Branch 215, and Branch 291, where thousands of Syrians were arbitrarily detained, tortured, and executed. The video also highlights mass graves and the systematic cover-up of these atrocities.

Despite Assad’s downfall, the true scale of these horrors, including the deaths of at least 15,000 people from torture, remains largely hidden. Families continue to search for their loved ones, with many still missing and the fate of countless others uncertain.
