The Eruption of Freedom: Revelations from Syria's SNN Prison
The Syrian Civil War, which has ensued for over a decade, has left some of the most horrifying tales of human suffering and resilience in its wake. Among the notorious symbols of the Assad dictatorship, the SNN prison north of Damascus has emerged as a hellish reminder of the regime's brutalities.

As the prison doors were thrown wide open in a recent turn of events, stories of harrowing conditions and newfound freedom began to surface.
