If you listen to Syrians, you'll see there is a huge focus on the prisons. Thousands of people are now being released from these slaughter houses, some of them had been there since 1982.

Thinking today of Elizabeth Tsurkov, whom I never met personally but who wrote for us on several occasions. She was for years a must-read analyst on Syria's civil war and the armed groups fighting it until Kataib Hezbollah took her hostage in Baghdad ~2 yrs ago. I hope her captivity also ends soon.
