Our piece from Sednaya prison here, with @yaldahakim.bsky.social and Caleb Swinney: youtu.be/5ictvq6r2N4?...

Depressingly we saw no ICRC staff or human rights organisations on the ground at Sednaya preserving the paperwork listing the detainees. Much of it was littered on the ground outside, making it more difficult for people to find out details about their relatives.

Turkish rescue workers and the Syrian Red Crescent are still searching the prison, but for the most part it was locals coming to see the horrors for themselves or sifting through paperwork to look for mentions of their loved ones.

Many of the thousands of Assad posters along the road into Damascus are now ripped apart or shot through, with crowds of rebel fighters still celebrating.

"I’m 18 years old. When I first started they killed my father and they killed my uncle. All my young cousins and family members are gone. They took the women and then thank god now we released them."
