According to the Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR), regime forces detained at least 1.2 million Syrians during the civil war and subjected them to various torture methods.
Although the regime announced over 20 so-called amnesty decisions during the war, international human rights organizations state that the regime continued detaining Syrians.
Numerous reports from international organizations emphasize that detainees were killed through torture.
Anadolu has compiled details of torture centers and methods under the collapsed Baath regime, which ruled for 61 years.
According to an exclusive SNHR report for Anadolu, the regime’s torture centers were categorized as civilian prisons, military prisons, secret unofficial detention centers, and security unit interrogation centers.
According to the SNHR report, the Baath regime employed 72 torture methods involving physical, psychological, and sexual violence.
