Recent revelations from the Syrian Civil Defense shed light on the unimaginable suffering endured by detainees at Syria's infamous Saydnaya prison. According to Farouq Habib, deputy general manager of the volunteer organization known as White Helmets, some detainees had been subjected to such extreme conditions that they had forgotten their own identities.
One particularly heartbreaking account involved a woman who was detained at the age of 19 and gave birth to three children while in captivity, having been repeatedly raped. These children, born and raised within the prison walls, had never experienced life outside until recently.
