A source close to #Damascus has revealed that #Aleppo will be 'soon' receiving thousands of detainees death notifications. 'At least half of those deaths may have been executions', according to him. Those executed were held on terrorism charges or detained on the battlefield.
The source believes the notifications will top 30,000 within a year and possibly go northwards of 50,000. While many have been executed, loads have died of starvation, infections turning into sepsis for lack of medical care, and tuberculosis, among other diseases
The notifications, he said, will only account for the detainees who died in 'formal' detentions. The thousands who died in the various Security Branches are not included in his '30, 000+' estimate.
