Description
Syrian Gulag: Inside Assad's Prison System is a harrowing account of the internment and imprisonment system in Syria under the rule of the Assads. Based on interviews with victims, perpetrators, survivors' memoirs, leaked regime archives, photos, and intelligence files, this book exposes the worst prisons in the Middle East. The Syrian uprising has led to an estimated 300,000 people being detained or dying in prison since its outbreak. Syrians can be arrested for their political activities, even if they are not directly involved. The book sheds light on a system that imprisons without trial and subjects prisoners to torture and starvation, often resulting in death. This book is the first to reveal the inner workings of Syria's prison system, providing an urgent exposé on the country today.
