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. The torture, including brutal methods like the "magic carpet," took place in over 100 detention facilities where sexual violence and mass executions were rampant. 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.
