The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) documented the death of a civilian from al-Safsafah area in the western countryside of Raqqa under torture in regime prison, after he had been arrested nearly five years ago.

SOHR has documented the death of 47,492 civilians under torture in regime’s prisons since the beginning of the Syrian revolution, all documented by names: 47,089 men and young men, 339 children under the age of eighteen, and 64 women over the age of eighteen.

According to SOHR data, the number of people killed, executed and/or died in regime prisons exceeded 104,000. Over 83% of the total death toll was killed and/or died in these prisons between May 2013 and October 2015. SOHR sources have also confirmed that more than 30,000 detainees were killed in the notorious prison of Sednaya alone, while the second largest percentage of killings occurred in the Air Force Intelligence detention facilities or prisons.
