„At least 60,000 people have died in Syrian government prisons over the past five years due to either torture or dire humanitarian conditions such as lack of food, a monitor said Saturday. The head of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group, Rami Abdel Rahman, said he compiled the toll from regime sources. (…)According to Abdel Rahman, government forces have arrested a total of 500,000 people since Syria’s conflict erupted in 2011. While some have been released and others died, the whereabouts of thousands of detainees remain unknown.“ (Ynet-News)
