Amnesty quotes one of their witnesses who says about the court: “The judge will ask the name of the detainee and whether he committed the crime. Whether the answer is yes or no, he will be convicted.” <br /><br />This assertion is contradicted by a former Saydnaya prisoner who is now a refugee in Sweden. In this news report the former prisoner says the judge “asked him how many soldiers he had killed. When he said none, the judge spared him.” This is evidence that there is a judicial process of some sort and there are acquittals. <br />http://www.globalresearch.ca/amnesty-internationals-kangaroo-report-on-human-rights-in-syria/5574195<br /><br />http://www.globalresearch.ca/amnesty-fake-news-on-syria-human-rights-as-a-pretext-for-criminal-invasions/5574197<br /><br />A recently-released Amnesty International Report[5] – based on hearsay, and fabricated in the U.K — fails all tests of validity, but nonetheless serves the Pentagon’s strategy of “information dominance”[6], codified in U.S law with the passage of HR5181[7], which provides a framework for “countering” and “refuting” narratives that do not align with U.S propaganda narratives. <br /><br /><br />https://twitter.com/AWAKEALERT/status/828123047915687936<br /> Victims of US State Sponsored Terror in #Syria US UK Sponsored Savage Rebels Dissect #Christians In Human Slaughterhouses While Still Alive <br />29 Dec 2016Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7091580307813686433.post-90315236157321530622017-02-11T19:45:08.352-08:002017-02-11T19:45:08.352-08:00I didn't include the video Amnesty made last y...I didn't include the video Amnesty made last year about the same story. <a href="https://www.pri.org/stories/2016-08-18/you-can-now-take-virtual-tour-assad-s-notorious-torture-prison-syria" rel="nofollow">Here's a PRI story</a> on that - they animated the likely bogus stories based on a memory-based model of the prison and added sound effects, to heighten the viewer's critical thinking skills of course.

This is...Thanks, I think this is a report I missed. This is clearly a ref to the system seen at Hospital 601. 601 is also called a prison and torture center in some places - the victims seen there were killed right there, not at Sednaya, Branch 215's prison. etc. <br /><br />No reason to send the same bodies to both hospitals. This says it was bigger, with another stream getting processed at Tishreen, and at least some dead generated on-site with their killing center." <br /><br />Nothing about numbers written on foreheads appears in the Amnesty version of things, however. This connection is more explicit in Mr. al-Rez's story. <br /><br />Putting it all together, they'd say Tishreen handled BOTH Sednaya prisoners with their mostly hanging method, as well as ... other places that used the methods used by MI branch 215 etc. ... but that shouldn't be 215, etc., who sent all their numbered dead, except maybe a few gaps, to 601, with its numbers running to 10,000+. <br /><br />Also noting here a 215 arrestee is taken to Sednaya or some such, not to 'the 215 prison,' as HRW heard for their report. That makes more sens to me. But then the question of who managed the 215 etc. prisoner numbers, and made sure everyone was killed in their order of arrest, and stuff like that ... is even less clear than it was.Caustic Logichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03082923821952309709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7091580307813686433.post-76914040689677634332017-02-11T06:42:57.417-08:002017-02-11T06:42:57.417-08:00Yes, good point!

Former prisoner, Zahran Alloush - Islamist militant, demanded freed in 2011 as a "political prisoner" - formed Liwa al-Islam, became Jaish al-Islam, became whatever now ... controls Douma, a slowly-shrinking area around it in East Ghouta. Alloush's group is the prime suspect for the Ghouta CW massacre og August 21, 2013, AND I think for abducting the Caesar photo victims from all over his mini-empire. <br /><br />Now it comes full circle - that mis-routed record of brutality, likely from a terrorist militant Sednaya was way too soft on - is getting melted into this bogus-sounding story about nothing but peaceful innocents inside Sednaya. What next, Amnesty demands they all be released and sent to Turkey?

In February 2012, he claimed, he was at the Damascus International Airport when he was pulled aside by members of Branch 215. “They said, ‘Come with us for two minutes.’ Two minutes turned into two years.” After falling ill at Syria’s infamous Sednaya prison, he was taken to Tishreen. On his initial stay, in October 2013, al-Rez said, he was regularly denied food and water, and the guards would routinely beat him with what patients mockingly referred to as the “Lakhdar Brahimi,” a green stick named after the former U.N. and Arab League’s joint special representative to Syria (who, in 2012, had been dispatched to persuade Assad to step down or accept a transitional process toward that end). Two months later, al-Rez said he was re-admitted to Tishreen and over the course of two days was ordered to use plastic to wrap 20 or more corpses, whose prisoner numbers had already been inscribed on their foreheads. “Tishreen,” he concluded, “is a killing center.”<br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7091580307813686433.post-89036429709184829352017-02-10T10:05:10.345-08:002017-02-10T10:05:10.345-08:00http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2016/04/18/basha...http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2016/04/18/bashar-al-assads-war-crimes-exposed<br />Chris Engels and Bill Wiley inside the evidence room of the Commission for International Justice and Accountability. <br /><br />In June, 2013, Hamada’s case was referred to the judiciary. He was transferred to Adra Prison, in Damascus, where he filed an application for proof of the charges against him. (Syrian prisons are nominally subject to judicial oversight; the security agencies are not.) The written reply said that he had been arrested “for the crime of terrorism and has been deprived of his liberty since June 5, 2013”—the same date that the charges were filed. Officially, his fifteen months in the Air Force-intelligence branch at al-Mezzeh Military Airport didn’t exist.<br />In the early hours of August 21st, the Syrian government launched rockets carrying sarin gas into densely populated neighborhoods in Damascus, killing more than fourteen hundred people. In response, President Obama, who had earlier committed to a “red line” should Assad use chemical weapons, announced, “I have decided the United States should take military action against Syrian regime targets.” He said he would wait for congressional approval, but, he continued, “what message will we send if a dictator can gas hundreds of children to death, in plain sight, and pay no price?”<br />Shortly after the chemical attack, Hamada and many other prisoners were transported to al-Mezzeh, without explanation. Agents moved the detainees to a large, empty hangar on the base. At least one of the sarin-gas rockets is believed to have been launched from the base at al-Mezzeh—it was a logical target for an American strike. Inside the hangar, guards jeered at the detainees. They said that when the Americans bombed Syria all of them would be killed.<br />He fled to Turkey, boarded a smuggler’s raft to Greece, and travelled more than seventeen hundred miles to the Netherlands, where his sister had moved before the war. He recalled the migration with a shrug, in a single sentence, as if it were nothing.<br />Hamada’s account of atrocities at Hospital 601 was later corroborated by approximately fifty-five thousand photographs, smuggled out of Syria by a military-police officer known by the name Caesar, an alias. Before the war, Caesar and his colleagues had documented crime scenes and traffic accidents involving military personnel in Damascus. He uploaded pictures to government computers, then printed them and stapled them to official death reports. Beginning in 2011, however, the bodies were those of detainees, collected each day from security branches and delivered to military hospitals.<br /><br />March, 2011 to August, 2013. But the numbers suggest only about 1,000 unidentified bodies - less than 10% of the total implied - were logged between the start and July, 2012. 1,000 in 15 months is an average of less than 70 a month. <br />http://acloserlookonsyria.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Torture_Photos_from_%22Caesar%22/Photo_Timeline<br /><br />Former inmates<br />Zahran Alloush,former leader of Jaysh al-Islam <br />Hassan Aboud, former leader of Ahrar ash-Sham <br />Abu Yahia al-Hamawi, current leader of Ahrar ash-Sham <br />Ahmed Abu Issa, leader of Suqour al-Sham Brigade <br />Abu Mohammad al-Adnani, former leader and spokesperson of Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) <br />Abu Luqman, current ISIL governor of Raqqah <br />Haitham al-Maleh, Islamist opposition activist and lawyer[9] <br /><br />https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sednaya_Prison<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
