منظمة العفو تتهم النظام السوري بشنق 13 الف معتقل سرا في سجن صيدنايا خلال خمس سنوات
Read this story in English
اتهمت منظمة العفو الدولية في تقرير الثلاثاء النظام السوري بتنفيذ إعدامات جماعية سرية شنقا بحق 13 الف معتقل، غالبيتهم من المدنيين المعارضين، في سجن صيدنايا قرب دمشق خلال خمس سنوات من النزاع في سوريا.
وقالت المنظمة الحقوقية في تقريرها وعنوانه "مسلخ بشري: شنق جماعي وابادة في سجن صيدنايا" انه "بين 2011 و2015، كل اسبوع، وغالبا مرتين اسبوعيا، كان يتم اقتياد مجموعات تصل احيانا الى خمسين شخصا الى خارج زنزاناتهم في السجن وشنقهم حتى الموت"، مشيرة الى انه خلال هذه السنوات الخمس "شنق في صيدنايا سرا 13 الف شخص، غالبيتهم من المدنيين الذين يعتقد انهم معارضون للحكومة".
واوضحت المنظمة انها استندت في تقريرها الى تحقيق معمق اجرته على مدى سنة من كانون الاول 2015 الى كانون الاول 2016، وتضمن مقابلات مع 84 شاهدا، بينهم حراس سابقون في السجن ومسؤولون ومعتقلون وقضاة ومحامون، بالاضافة الى خبراء دوليين ومحليين حول مسائل الاعتقال في سوريا.
وبحسب التقرير، ان "الاعدامات السرية" تمت "خارج نطاق القضاء"، و"أُدين الضحايا وحُكم عليهم بالإعدام عقب +محاكمات+ أمام محكمة الميدان العسكرية الكائنة في حي القابون بدمشق، وتستغرق المحاكمة الواحدة ما بين دقيقة واحدة وثلاث دقائق كحد أقصى".
واوضح التقرير ان السجناء يكونون "طوال العملية معصوبي الاعين، لا يعرفون متى او اين سيموتون الى ان يلف الحبل حول اعناقهم".
ونقل التقرير عن قاض سابق شهد هذه الاعدامات قوله "كانوا يبقونهم (معلقين) هناك لمدة 10 الى 15 دقيقة".
واضاف ان "صغار السن من بينهم كان وزنهم اخف من ان يقتلهم فكان مساعدو الضباط يشدونهم الى الاسفل ويكسرون اعناقهم".
واكدت المنظمة الحقوقية ان هذه الممارسات ترقى الى جرائم حرب وجرائم ضد الانسانية ولكنها مع ذلك مستمرة على الارجح.
ويعتقل النظام السوري آلاف المساجين في سجن صيدنايا الذي يديره الجيش والذي يعتبر احد اضخم سجون البلاد ويقع على بعد 30 كلم تقريبا شمال العاصمة.
واتهمت المنظمة الحقوقية في تقريرها نظام الرئيس بشار الاسد بانتهاج "سياسة ابادة" في هذا السجن.
وجاء في التقرير "سجن صيدنايا العسكري هو المكان الذي تقوم الدولة السورية فيه بذبح شعبها بهدوء. ويشكل المدنيون، الذين تجرأوا على مجرد التفكير بمعارضة الحكومة، الغالبية الساحقة من الضحايا". وبالاضافة الى الذين اعدموا شنقا، "قتل آخرون كثر من المحتجزين في سجن صيدنايا جراء تكرار تعرضهم للتعذيب والحرمان الممنهج من الطعام والشراب والدواء والرعاية الطبية".
واكد ان السجناء يتعرضون للاغتصاب او يتم اجبارهم على اغتصاب بعضهم البعض، بينما عملية اطعامهم تتم عبر القاء الحراس الطعام على ارض الزنزانة التي غالبا ما تكون متسخة ومغطاة بالدماء.
واعتبرت المنظمة انه "لا يمكن لأحد أن يزعم أن مثل هذه الممارسات المنهجية والواسعة النطاق تُرتكب بدون تفويض من الحكومة السورية على أعلى مستوياتها".
- "مقابر جماعية" -وبحسب افادات الشهود التي جمعتها منظمة العفو، فان "قواعد خاصة" كانت مطبقة في السجن، إذ لم يكن مسموحا للسجناء ان يتكلموا، وكان عليهم ان يتخذوا وضعيات محددة لدى دخول الحراس الى زنزاناتهم.
ونقل التقرير عن سجين سابق في صيدنايا وقد عرف عنه باسم مستعار، نادر، قوله "كل يوم كان لدينا في عنبرنا اثنان او ثلاثة اموات (...) اتذكر ان الحارس كان يسألنا يوميا كم ميت لدينا. كان يقول: +غرفة رقم 1، كم؟ غرفة رقم 2، كم؟ وهكذا دواليك".
واضاف نادر ان التعذيب في احد الايام كان عنيفا لدرجة ان عدد الموتى في عنبر واحد بلغ 13 سجينا.
ونقل التقرير عن عسكري سابق واسمه حميد قوله انه كان بامكانه سماع اصوات "طقطقة" مصدرها غرفة الشنق الواقعة في الطابق الاسفل خلال حصول عمليات الشنق.
واضاف حميد الذي اعتقل في 2011 "كان بامكانك اذا وضعت اذنك على الارض ان تسمع صوتا يشبه الطقطقة. كنا ننام على صوت سجناء يموتون اختناقا".
واشار التقرير الى ان الجثث توضع "عقب الإعدام في شاحنة، وتُنقل إلى مشفى تشرين لتسجيلها ودفنها في قبور جماعية، في أرض تابعة للجيش على مقربة من دمشق".
وكانت منظمة العفو قدرت في تقارير سابقة عدد السجناء الذين قضوا في معتقلات النظام منذ بدء النزاع في آذار/مارس 2011 بحوالى 17 الفا و700 سجين، ما يعني ان مقتل 13 الف معتقل في سجن واحد قد يعني ان العدد أكبر من ذلك بكثير.
وتعليقا على التقرير، قالت نائبة مدير الابحاث في مكتب منظمة العفو الإقليمي في بيروت لين معلوف ان "الفظائع الواردة في هذا التقرير تكشف عن وجود حملة خفية ووحشية تم السماح بها من اعلى المستويات في الحكومة السورية وتستهدف سحق اي شكل من اشكال المعارضة في صفوف الشعب السوري".
واضافت ان "قتل آلاف الاشخاص العزل بدم بارد، بالاضافة الى برامج التعذيب الجسدي والنفسي الممنهجة والمعدة بعناية والتي يتم اتباعها في سجن صيدنايا، لا يمكن السماح لها بأن تستمر".
وطالبت معلوف مجلس الامن الدولي ب"التحرك الفوري لوضع حد لهذه المعاناة".
وقالت ان على مجلس الامن ان "يصدر قرارا حازما" بالطلب من الحكومة السورية "فتح سجونها امام المراقبين الدوليين" وعلى مجلس حقوق الانسان التابع للامم المتحدة ان يطلب "تحقيقا مستقلا في هذه الانتهاكات الخطيرة للقانون الدولي".

The responses to this article show the lack of morality and dishonesty of the party of Iran in Lebanon. They have no honor and no shame and will defend a monstrous regime to the hilt. Since those murdered are overwhelmingly Sunnis, they do not matter to these sectarian monsters.

And these 1300 people were murdered in one prison (and does not cover the many other prisons and those executed on the spot) between 2011 h 2015

AD.com: we're calling you and the western propagandists liars, we dont believe your BS.
let us know when you find saddam's WMDs

ask Ahmad Chalabi and Nouri Malki of your wilayat al faqih who convinced the U.S administration to invade Iraq for pure sectarian reasons. It was Chalabi’s contention that Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction.
https://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/04/world/middleeast/ahmad-chalabi-iraq-dead.html?_r=0

The shia heretic is saying since no WMDs were found in Iraq, Amnesty's report of assad's war crimes is fake as if Amnesty made the claim about Saddam's WMD and not his shia heretics who fed the U.S administration the false information.

So you want us to believe the U.S bombed & destroyed a nation whilst in the process killing over 2 million people because of false info from iran?
LMFAO...it just gets better & better.

Iranian troll. You are either a fool or a tool or both. There are tens of thousands of pictures of executed prisoners that were smuggled out of Syria and made available to press and to different human rights organizations who hired forensic experts who verified their authenticity. Many of the pictures of the victims were identified against missing persons lists. Amnesty international or human rights watch never made claims about Iraq WMD. Indeed they both documented violations of the American military and demanded trials. Again you show yourself to be a liar and a person with no honor or shame.

This is a report from human rights watch https://www.hrw.org/report/2015/12/16/if-dead-could-speak/mass-deaths-and-torture-syrias-detention-facilities

You are determined to be blind every time the truth is out about your lying leadership and the Syrian ruthless regime that created extremism when it never exist before in the early 80s.
The Mossad shot in the back all the Lebanese army soldiers and the rest that are still missing from 1991 right..keep lying to the people and you think we"lol believe your continued Iranian/Syrian propaganda

that's not what exfpm is saying that's what you are saying ya heretic. Your other alias the irani was asking "let us know when you find saddam's WMDs" and he got his answer.

Factual and Provocative
Determined and Daring
@mowaten
What can one say, another E-X-C-E-L-L-E-N-T comment. I particularly enjoyed the part where you said " let us know when you find saddam's WMDs "
Thank you for making this forum lovely, lively and vibrant.
Still laughing since January 2015 when you said the $3 billion Saudi grant was only to teach our soldiers the French language.
Thank you
Yours Sincerely
@CFTC

Trump said the other day that he condoned torture on suspected terrorists, so what is wrong here? You all worship zionist Trump.

You may love Trump. I do not. still you have no empathy for those killed. You simply defend the killer. Shame on you. No honor and no shame

One thing is for sure, all you Salafi supporters on Naharnet deserves to be put in a jail such as the one mentioned above.

did those two dead shia iranian terrorists in your avatar spend anytime in jail?

Jew from texas, here we have you defending the Israelis once again.
You do know it is treason to support Israel and their system right?
Pray you never get caught in Lebanon with those thoughts of yours.
I do support Assad, yes I never denied that. He stood his ground even when he was close to defeat at times.
He managed to burn salafism to hell in Syria, that I respect him for.
Also Assads supported the Resistance against Israel throughout the Southern Lebanon War, and 2006 war.

Thank you FT for proving yet again how empty your rhetoric is. I rely on credible human rights organizations (the same ones that your Iranian outlets rely on to highlight Saudi violations). You rely on propaganda outlets that are paid for by the Syrian, Iranian and Russian regimes. People have a choice of who the gullible person is.

Amnesty International is a zionist wahabi takfiri organization when it reports about the Syrian Regime's atrocities but a model and a reference in credibility when it reports about alleged crimes in Yemen or Bahrain.
That is how a shia heretic mind works.

hahahahahahaha!
That is called genius! You see how when you provide them with facts, I mean hard and solid facts like you just did, they are left dazed, confused and bewildered. I know it did not take you long to come up with these facts and that is what differentiates from the run of the mill posters.
In my book you are a legend in your own right.
In other words, you are somesing anazar flamesrower!

Does torture & inhuman practice take place around the world?
it certainly does...even the most outspoken nation on earth championing human rights was caught red handed...
Guantanamo Bay and Abu Ghraib, guess who?
yes Syria is surely guilty of this practice as well.
Lets give Syria the same punishment the U.S was handed.
Oh wait they were not punished...

is assad still a dictator who never had your support?
is Syria still undemocratic as you've always maintained?

the article is about assad and syria if you know how to read and not the USA. See my point? Now tell us what are you doing posting between 7 a.m and 7 p.m australia time?
the_roar:
"most people have lives between the hours of 7am & 7pm..but I wish you well & hope you find some real purpose to your meaningless life."

& i tackled the issue regarding Assad, but also pointed out that others do it whilst the world ignores it.
How does that bother you?

Its 6.40 pm not 7am you ignorant lurker.
texas pointed out he posts from 7am till 7pm..bit like you, he has a real purpose to his life.

You piece of human slime. You are trying to justify the murder of 13000 in one prison in 4 years. Get some dignity. Get some shame. Get some humanity. And do not dare compare what happened in Guantanamo and Abu Greib (as atrocious as they were) with the genocide committed by this regime. You are a disgusting person along with every slime that supports that monstrous regime. You have on shame. No honor. Use lies and every deceitful trick in the book to defend their masters. You are worse - much worse - than the criminals in ISIS. You are sectarians to the bone and who could care little for the people whondo not belong to your sects. fascist!!!?

thank you for the kind words Arabdemocrat...You show your true colors
If its not your way, then we become infidels etc right?
If only you learn to read in context, I have not exonerated Assad or his regime of any crime...But i will repeat the text for slow people
The world is committing horrible crimes including human rights abuse, yet no one cares..even the most human rights champions of the world practice this & no one cared!
maybe you could be objective for once & see the bigger picture than your self hating narrow minded views

Another war crime, another holocaust, another massacre, another article as flamethrower(s) embarks on yet another journey in pursuit of his childhood dream to achieve excellence in the art of trolling.

No wimpers. You are justifying a monster. Someone who slaughtered and continue to slaughter on mass. I could care less about your religious beliefs or if you believe in God or not or if Ali or Abu Bakr should have been Caliph or Imam. And yes, you are an infidel- an infidel to the basis human decency and morality that we should all hold dear.

You sure do care about religious beliefs.
You're the most religious fanatic on this forum...only one truth for you.

The_wimper. Believe what you wish. Our writings are clear indication as to where we stand on human rights and who is the one that justifies crimes against humanity and the one that condemn them. I know a lot about Sunni and Shia Islamists and evangelical christian politics because I argue against them regularly as I see them as a threat to liberal democratic values I hold dear.

Yes you're very clear on human rights indeed, especially when your terrorist friends were eating hearts & chopping heads.
All you did was support them to the hilt with BS excuse after another
one day they wee actually FSA the next it was Assads fault etc etc.
You're nothing but a biased religious fanatic..you know nothing about human rights unless it goes against you.

The_wimper lies again. Just because you support the monstrosity of the Assad regime does not mean that others have lost their morals or sense of humanity like you. I have never supported that monster or defended his action (and it was an individual action and not killings on an industrial scale like the regime you support). Indeed much of the opposition and activists condemned him and his actions and demanded that he be brought to justice. And then you proceed to lie and lie and lie and I challenge you to prove one of the lies you made. You are a person with no honor and no shame.

you talk of honor as if you know anything about it.
You can't debate without using derogatory openings, yet you want to talk about honor?
Since you lack the basic civilized capabilities of debating, You will be treated with utter disdain you rightly deserve.
I tried debating with you in a reasonable manner but, you quickly showed your true colors,
he speaks of honor, pffft

As for you the_wimper. You and your side lie, lie, lie and then double down on lying. You justify and defend terrible crimes against humanity and you want to be treated with civilities. I do not have time for civility with people who accuse me of being a Salafi or supporters of Salafies ..... I tried to have civil conversation with your side but at the end one must call spade a spade. Anyone that supports the Assad regime or ISIS is beyond the pale and is a person without honour and shame.

yeah, "Western/Salafi propaganda" is exactly what we expected from an iranian follower of wilayat al faqih enrolled in Assad's killing machine. I guess also the missing Lebanese in Syrian jails are also a figment of some people's imagination and part of the "Western/Salafi propaganda".

"the_roar
You call him butcher, the majority of humanity thanks him for his unbelievable achievements in destroying your evil headchoppers, hearteaters etc."
"the_roar:
I could care less about Assad or his track record with human rights abuse etc.
Assad is an Arab dictator, which never had my support."
"the_roar:
Its funny how these Saudi lovers are questioning syria's democratic system.
Yet the whole world knows that Syria is the leader of democracy in the ME.
but hey if the shills here insist that Syria is not up to their standards when it comes to democracy, maybe they could show us an example of how a democracy should be according to any other ME country."
No Further comments your honor!

He is & will be remembered as the champion of the ME.
Who thought he could exterminate the plague you call friends, like Isis,nusra,qaida etc who eat peoples hearts or chop peoples heads etc
As for supporting him? hardly.
Democracy in Saudi is definitely the model you wish for right?
Syria was so lacking when compared to your love, KSA, right?

All what you have written the_roar is direct justification of Assad's crimes. KSA or the USA are not the subject of the article. If you believe other countries have committed crimes that does not mean you can justify the crimes committed by Assad and the militia of hezbollah. Diverting the discussion is a sure sign of a troll.

You're valid comment on the article provides solid evidence of no trolling on your behalf.
lol@these trolls calling part time commentators trolls!!!!

I have the utmost respect and admiration for Mr. the_roar for many reasons main among them is he has a life between 7 am - 7 pm, he believes assad is a dictator, and syria is the leader of democracy in the middle east.
I respect Mr. the_roar, I just do.

Who pulls the strings on this puppet? ice-norma-terr-galaxy-etc etc?
Please tell us so we can respect the effort it puts in day in day out.

Still traumatized by " ice-norma-terr-galaxy-marcus/barry-janoubi-justin-exfpm, etc" ya heretic?

they certainly do as do you..how is it you're all here & ready to troll everyday, every article, every post?
that is very traumatizing in the extreme

if you're a part time commenter how do you know @lubnani is "here & ready to troll everyday, every article, every post?"

Read the history dude, its there for all to see....its not some secret classified document...just check out the last week 7 see if you lot miss a day.
trolls & lurkers

there was a poster by the name of 'outlaw', did you also read the history on that one, or you did not feel the need since you already knew what he posted?

It is highly likely that the Arab League will seek protections for the Syrians at the UNSC or UNHRC. They are likely preparing a resolution condemning Assad for presentation to the UN bodies. The AL can ALWAYS be counted on to protect Arab human rights, a very fortunate fact for the many Syrians still imprisoned at Saydnaya.

Wow look how many trolling IDs are revived just to defend this criminal regime, the flaming moukhabarat man has been busy today.

hahahahaha!
Smooth like a V8 engine, Convincing like a Preacher in Sunday Church, Combative like a Samurai warrior. You have qualities rarely seen on a human.
In other words, you are somesing Anazar flamesrower!

God sees every injustice and he knows who supports it. Bashar and his terrorist men will not save any of the filthy puppets supporting such evil. When the justice of God comes, they will all be alone. They sold their soul for a miserable price.
Whats crazy is that these supporters of Assad know very well that opponents of the regime get tortured and that this went on long before the peaceful uprising, long before the FSA, long before isis, nusra and any other armed group. They know his dad did the same kind of things in lebanon and in Syria.
They know but they choose to belittle it now when they are allied with this human devil. Such are people without honour and without decency. They are cheap to buy. Its enough for a drug dealing rapist to praise nasrallah and they will view such a scumbag as a good man. Cheap rodents.

The victims of Bashar are almost entirely Lebanese, syrian, palestinian, kurd.. yet the hizbu rats have the nerve to portray him as anti-zionist.
As someone said: "Assad bi lebnen w arnab 3a israel".
"when the time is right" :) Funny how the time is always right when it comes to killing civilian syrians and lebanese who refuse to worship assad but never right to respond to the israeli army.
And funny how assad didnt send any military strength to lebanon in 2006 to fight israel but the hizbu rats go to syria to help him kill syrians. Funny how several syrians cities and towns are under rubble or beseiged while israeli cities are safe from assad and hizbu and putins harm.

I heard the word of the Lord and the Lord whispered in my ear you are not Christian.
