–#Syrie : un catalogue de 72 tortures différentes, du « tapis volant » à la « chaise allemande »
The Syrian regime -which is expanding its hold in NE #Syria– employs 72 torture methods in its prisons, @snhr found. Let’s not forget that 1.2 million #Syrians have been detained at some point since 2011 and 130,000 remain in detention or disappeared. http://sn4hr.org/blog/2019/10/21/54362/
2 – Idlib :
-In Idlib, Syria, in the past few months: – Over 1,000 civilians killed – Over 1,000,000 civilians displaced – Over 50 hospitals bombed But because they were attacked by Russia & Assad, and because they don’t live in #Northeast Syria, you probably haven’t heard about it.
