Survivors reveal widespread torture and disappearances in Syrian regime's detention facilities post-Assad.
Syrians are now revealing the widespread torture and abuse that occurred under former President Bashar Assad's regime.

Tens of thousands of people, including innocent civilians, disappeared over a decade, silenced by fear. With Assad's fall, the public is gaining access to these facilities and hearing survivors' stories, with rights groups estimating at least 150,000 people went missing since 2011.
