The world's leading news anchor Yalda Hakim is in Damascus, where she visited the notorious Sednaya prison.
According to foreign media, for years, allegations of torture and mass executions have been made there by the Assad regime.
Tens of thousands of people were held in what the locals called "The Slaughterhouse of People". Aishja Kiki has been looking for her son who was killed in prison, writes A2 CNN.
She said to Hakim, "Why should my son die tortured in their hands, why? He suffered a lot."
"He was telling me that I would rather die than be tortured. But they caught him and tortured him to death."
The stench of the prison was suffocating, Hakim said, as he entered a soundproof torture chamber equipped with numbers labeled "gas," "heat" and "cold air."
"Those arrested, those who spoke out against the regime, were tortured, electrocuted, sexually assaulted and buried alive," she said.
A "crushing machine" was used to kill people and dispose of their bodies, Hakimi added.
Judi Kiki, whose brother was killed in prison, said she could not believe the sight of where he died.
"We didn't know anything about it," she said.
"I can't imagine what she felt in this place, in this miserable place," she concluded, A2 CNN writes. (A2 Televizion)
