Freed Assad detainees rejoice as Syrians search for underground cells in Saydnaya prison


The fall of Bashar Al-Assad’s regime in Syria has led to the liberation of political prisoners, including women and children, who had been held in grim conditions in prisons across the country. One video shows men cheering as they are freed from Saydnaya prison, known as the “Human Slaughterhouse.” Harrowing stories surface of detainees being kept in hidden underground cells, prompting rescue teams to search the facility. Footage shows a child being freed from a cell in the aftermath of Assad’s overthrow.

One freed prisoner, Bashar Barhoum, expressed gratitude for his newfound freedom, as he was meant to be executed but was saved just in time. The emotional impact of the liberation is felt by many, including Syrian refugee Salem Alaya, who cried as he watched videos of people being freed from prison cells. He hopes to reunite with family members who have been missing in Syrian jails for years.

The overthrow of Assad has brought celebrations in Syria and around the world, with crowds honking horns and toppling statues of the former leader. Concerns linger about the future of Syria and the region, with U.S. strikes on ISIS camps and Israel targeting suspected chemical weapons sites. President Joe Biden warns of a moment of risk and uncertainty, as global leaders express hopes for stability in post-Assad Syria.
