| | + | Clashes, as Turkey hits Kurds in Syria. |
| | + | It signaled an intensification of a long-running conflict between Turkey and its proxies, and Kurdish forces. The fighting had centered on the Kurdish-controlled city of Manbij, not far from the Turkish border. Turkish-backed forces captured the city on Monday, according to the British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, and pushed north toward Kobani, less than 40 miles away. |
| | + | Turkey aims to weaken Kurdish forces, which it calls terrorists, putting it at odds with the United States, even though both countries are NATO allies. |

| | + | Horros: "Walk on all fours and bark": Assad's morbid torture methods. |
| | + | What happened inside Assad's prisons where thousands suffered 72 types of torture and 157,000 people have vanished: As new horrors are revealed by the hour, atrocity on staggering scale. |
| | + | He called himself Hitler and loved to put on ‘entertainments’. To amuse his dinner guests, he would force the prisoners in his charge to act as dogs, donkeys, cats or other animals. |
| | + | Those who failed to play their part would be beaten. ‘The dog has to bark, the cat meow, the rooster crow,’ recalled a former inmate. ‘Hitler tries to tame them. When he pets one dog the other dog should act jealous.’ |
| | + | ‘Hitler’ was a guard at a prison at the Mezze Air Base in Damascus and his sadism was unyielding even by the standards of Assad’s Syria. |
| | + | At Mezze, guards would regularly hang prisoners from a fence naked and spray water on them during cold nights. The New York Times described how one prisoner there was crammed into a tyre and beaten. |
| | + | He said an officer once told him that a screaming woman also in the prison but out of sight was his mother. He counted 19 cellmates who died from disease, torture or neglect in a single month. |
| | + | Since Assad’s fall, my social media feeds have swelled with images of rebels storming prisons, of bewildered prisoners stumbling through opened doors, of crying women blinking in daylight, and a toddler wandering out of an open cell door. |
| | + | There are scenes of men drilling into steel plates to reveal layers of prisoners wedged into the earth in hidden underground cells. |
| | + | In one video, a male figure sits upright on a bed, one foot manacled to its end. So motionless is he that, after watching it over a dozen times, one still genuinely cannot tell if he is a human or a mannequin. |
| | + | More than 157,000 Syrian citizens have been arrested or disappeared since the outbreak of the revolution in 2011 – including 10,000 women and 5,200 children. According to reports by the Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR), a human rights organization that has monitored the situation in Syria over the years, more than 15,000 people have died as a result of torture during this period. |
| | + | The regime agents used more than 70 different torture methods, including: electrocuting genitals, hanging weights from genitals, burning with boiling oil, steel rods, gunpowder, and various chemicals, crushing heads between cell doors and walls, inserting needles and pins into various parts of the body, confiscating clothing, and preventing access to showers and toilets. |
