Noone knows how many have been disappeared & tortured to death by Assad regime. Well over 100,000. Families are afraid to speak. When someone is arrested, they disappear. They are not charged or tried. No one can find out where they are, or talk to them - ever

'There is no shortage of evidence of the horrors of detention in Syria. Witnesses describe inhuman conditions, torture & brutal deaths. The UN has accused the Syrian government of the murder, rape, torture & extermination of detainees'
