A desperate search is underway for missing Syrians following the release of prisoners from the Saydnaya Military Prison near Damascus. The prison, known as the 'human slaughterhouse' by Amnesty International, was captured by rebel forces who freed around 3,000 detainees.
The Syrian Civil Defense, also known as the White Helmets, has deployed specialized teams to search for any remaining prisoners in secret cells or hidden basement rooms within the facility. Despite online speculation about the existence of thousands of additional detainees in deeper levels of the prison, the Association of Detainees & The Missing in Seydnayah Prison (ADMSP) has refuted these claims, stating that all prisoners were released by midday Sunday.
