Assad transformed Syria into a big jail and slaughterhouse: Minister Hamadeh

Share:

marwan-hamadehCommenting on a report by Amnesty International about Syria’s prisons, Lebanon’s Education Minister Marwan Hamadeh said on Wednesday that Syrian President Bashar Assad has transformed his country into a big jail and slaughterhouse, National News Agency reported.

“One can not but feel disgusted without any surprise about what is happening in Syria’s prisons, mainly in the Saydnaya, of atrocities that have been documented by Amnesty International,” said Hamadeh.

“No wonder about that since Bashar Assad has transformed Syria into a slaughterhouse and prison, adding 13,000 gallows to the toxic gases and explosive barrels that destroyed cities, places of worship and schools,” he went on to say.

“This last evidence from Amnesty International will be added to a file that will one day be opened in front of the International Criminal Court to try criminals of the Syrian war,” the minister concluded.

Amnesty International on Tuesday accused Syria’s government of hanging up to 13,000 people at a notorious prison over five years in a “policy of extermination”, two weeks before planned peace talks.

The damning report, titled “Human Slaughterhouse: Mass hanging and extermination at Saydnaya prison” near Damascus, details the gruesome ritual of mass hangings between 2011 and 2015.

The Syrian justice ministry replied to the Amnesty report and said it was “completely untrue and intended to harm Syria’s reputation in international forums,” according to the official SANA news agency.

Hundreds of Lebanese at the prison

There are reports that monks, army officers and soldiers that were captured on October 13, 1990 (when Syrian troops moved into the area controlled by General Michel Aoun) would be among the prisoners in Saydnaya . They were reportedly moved from the Mazzeh prison

  1. If anyone is still supporting Assad and believe he is a saint needs their head examined.Sure, the shiites believe all sunni are terrorist but this is just not true. It is time for a change despite what Iran my want. Shiite can be just as big of terrorist/extremists as the radical sunni. Enough of the holy war, let Syrians decide what they want, and not just the Shiite/Alwite Syrians that work for Iran and want full control over sunni majority.
    Fact is, if Assad does not go, there will not be any form of peace and rebuilding.

    1. If Assad goes, there will be no Russian air or naval base in Syria.

      Putin will not accept it….

      1. The Syrian people will decide no one else;-)

    2. What do Shia, Sunni, the ‘holy war’ and Iran have to do here?

        1. On page 17 of this document, Amnesty International explains that they came up with these figures by extrapolating data, using back-of-the-envelope calculations.

          (laughing)

          Who cares about facts when you can get away with a good (Western narrated) story.

  2. Another fake news. Marwan Hamadeh..eh?
    Traitor dealing with traitors; another Caesar ‘Slaughterhouse’ in Zionists tabloids.

    “Congressional Hawks Rush to Intensify War in Syria.The Caesar Fraud”

    HR5732 is titled the “Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act”. Foreign Affairs Committee Chair Ed Royce (R-Ca) explained that the resolution is named after “the brave Syrian defector known to the world as Caesar, who testified to us the shocking scale of torture being carried out within the prisons of Syria.”

    In reality, the Caesar story was a grand deception involving the CIA with funding from Qatar to sabotage the 2014 Geneva negotiations. The 55,000 photos which were said to show 11,000 torture victims have never been publicly revealed. Only a tiny number of photos have been publicized. However, in 2015 Human Rights Watch was granted access to view the entire set. They revealed that almost one half the photos show the opposite of what was claimed: instead of victims tortured by the Syrian government, they actually show dead Syrian soldiers and civilian victims of car bombs and other terror attacks! 1. Conducting studies based on field missions on social, economic and cultural rights, and on civil and political rights in all the Arab countries.
    The “Caesar” story, replete with masked ‘defector’, was one of the early propaganda hoaxes regarding Syria.”

    1. The CIA lying? I’ll be damned. They would have shown photos of dead unicorns and people would have believed it just the same.

  3. I have a lot of respect for Minister Hamadeh. He is lucky to be alive . Syria with Hezbllolah’s help tried to assassinate him in 2004 but he miraculously survived after several operations .
    I did mention in a previous post that there are hundreds of Lebanese in the Saydnaya prison and the Assad regime refuses to proved the Lebanese government any information on their whereabouts. I was not aware that many of the Lebanese prisoners were taken after Aoun was defeated by the Syrian army . What shocks me the most is that Aoun today supports the Syrian regime.
    I realize that many of the Lebanese were jailed by Bashar’s dad Hafez another brutal dictator who is famous for the Hama massacre in which tens of thousands of Syrians were massacred in 1982 , but no one in his right mind will question the fact that Bashar is by far the number one war criminal of the 21st century

    1. You’re part of the fake news..

    2. I was not aware

      I realize that

      You were not aware or your realize Kharazna?

      What shocks me the most is that Aoun today supports the Syrian regime.

      And many who were pro-Syria (30+ years) changed side too. You’d know if you were Lebanese.

  4. Before it becomes fake news..

  5. ‘In past years, Al-Akhbar, along with Lebanese, Arab, European, US, Canadian, and Australian media outlets, have revealed much of the internal proceedings of the case, publishing leaked documents from both the investigation and the STL.

    This may be due to the fact that most of the people conducting the investigation and the prosecution have ties to Western intelligence agencies, with whom they continue to cooperate.’

    ‘They promised “surprises” that would establish the guilt of the four Lebanese generals wrongfully imprisoned in the early days of the investigation, only for them to be released in April 2009 for lack of any evidence against them.

    Similar promises were made when the Syrian regime was later accused of the crime, only to be exonerated and replaced by Hezbollah as the main suspect.’

  6. George Assaf, a lawyer and a long-time advocate for human rights, who has devoted much of the last 10 years of his career trying to bring an end to human rights violations in Lebanon, said prisons in Lebanon were overcrowded and the prisoners were often tortured. “Across the board inhumane treatment is common in Lebanese prisons,” Assaf said.’
    “Sometimes up to 30 prisoners are jammed into a small cell where they take turns sleeping, sitting or standing and share one filthy rest-room infested with cockroaches and bugs, causing severe hygiene problems,” Majdalani said.

  7. What’s Marwan Fares name doing at the end of the list ?

    “Marwan Fares (b.1947 in Qaa) is a Lebanese politician.

    Doctorate in French literature and professor at the Lebanese University, he is a member of the Syrian Social Nationalist Party.
    He was elected for the Greek-Catholic seat in Baalbek-Hermel since 1996, supported by Hezbollah and pro-Syrian parties. He chaired between 1996 and 2005 the Parliamentary Committee on Human Rights.” Wikedpedia

  8. Amnesty International Admits Syrian Saydnaya Report Fabricated Entirely in UK.

    February 9, 2017 (Tony Cartalucci – LD) – Amnesty International’s 48 page report titled, “Syria: Human Slaughterhouse: Mass Hangings and Extermination at Saydnaya Prison, Syria,” boasts bold claims, concluding:

    …the Syrian authorities’ violations at Saydnaya amount to crimes against humanity. Amnesty International urgently calls for an independent and impartial investigation into crimes committed at Saydnaya.

    However, even at a cursory glance, before even reading the full body of the report, under a section titled, “Methodology,” Amnesty International admits it has no physical evidence whatsoever to substantiate what are admittedly only the testimony of alleged inmates and former workers at the prison, as well as figures within Syria’s opposition.”

    -“Amnesty Hired Special Effects Experts to Fabricate “Evidence”
    In a video produced by Amnesty International accompanying their report, titled, “Inside Saydnaya: Syria’s Torture Prison”, the narrator admits in its opening seconds that Amnesty International possesses no actual evidence regarding the prison.”

    “During his last visit to Beirut on 3 May 2012, the US Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs Jeffrey Feltman met with former Prime Minister Fouad Siniora, former finance minister Mohamad Chatah, Future Movement leader Nader Hariri, and a number of Future Bloc MPs at Saad Hariri’s residence in Beirut’s city center.

    The meeting included discussions on many issues, mostly regarding the way forward in Syria and Lebanon, among others. Al-Akhbar was able to obtain a partial transcript of the meeting’s minutes.”
