Syrian prisoner tortured by the Assad regime (Photo: AFP)
A monitoring group has said that at least 60,000 people have died in Syrian government jails during the five-year conflict. Syrian government officials could not be reached for comment on the report by the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which cited sources in the security apparatus for the toll. The government has rejected similar reports in the past.
The Observatory's director, Rami Abdulrahman, said it had arrived at the number by adding up death tolls provided by sources in several Syrian jails and security agencies. He said more than 20,000 of them had died at Sednaya prison near Damascus. The Observatory said it had been able to verify the deaths of 14,456 people, 110 of them under the age of 18, since the start of the Syrian uprising in 2011.
U.N. investigators said in February that detainees held by the Syrian government were being killed on a massive scale.
Assad is a sick ****.
Hillary is worse.Assad is a sick ****.

In early 2014, a Syrian military-police photographer (code-name: Caesar) defected with photographic evidence of mass murder of prisoners by the Assad regime. Numbers inscribed on more than 11,000 bodies in 55,000 photographs said to emerge from the secret jails of Syria’s president, Bashar al-Assad, suggest that torture, starvation and execution are widespread and even systematic ... each case logged with bureaucratic detail.

Hillary is worse.
i don't like her, but that's a bit of an exaggeration.
No it's not. Hillary supports policies of overthrowing leaders and then allowing terrorists to take over. That's really unforgivable. If you think 60k people are bad, wait until ISIS becomes the head of the Syrian government. That's what Hillary wants.

Hillary supports mass murder on a scale much larger than Assad ever considered. With her full support and approval, the amount of people mentioned in the thread title are killed in the US every two weeks. She is far worse than Assad.

The pictures Caesar smuggled out of Syria were brutally horrific.Actually the picture you show is, as painful as it might appear, quite tame compared to the ones in Appendix A of the report linked in the article.
But it must be noted that the elected dictator's people have been doing that type of interrogation since way before the rebellion started. It has been standard practice from what I hear since the father took office. That is why it is so embarrassing that we never did much to help remove the regime and even now do not demand Assad stand trial in an international court.
Oh please. Spare me your faux outrage...Actually the picture you show is, as painful as it might appear, quite tame compared to the ones in Appendix A of the report linked in the article.
