1. Today, thousands of people arbitrarily detained are freed from Assad's Hama prison. This prison served as a holding facility for detainees before being transferred to Saydnaya prison, where they were executed, slaughtered, & killed under torture.
2 Freeing those detainees ended Assad’s war crimes & crimes against humanity of torture & enforced disappearances, against them. This is also a stark reminder of other detainees languishing in the Assad torture archipelago and of the tens of thousands killed by Assad in detention
3. Following the release of those detainees, crucial complementary work should follow to safeguard their dignity, address their needs (physical & psychological), & facilitate swift reunion with families. A dedicated workgroup should be formed to coordinate these efforts.
