Human Slaughterhouse: Amnesty International Says Up to 13,000 Hanged at Syrian Prison

Amnesty International has released a shocking report claiming as many as 13,000 people-mostly civilians-have been hanged in a Syrian government military prison in recent years. Amnesty accuses the Assad government of running a human slaughterhouse and engaging in a deliberate policy of extermination by hanging thousands of civilians at a prison near Damascus. Amnesty says the killings amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity. We speak to the co-author of the report, Nicolette Waldman, an Amnesty International researcher specializing in detention issues.
