Following the recent ousting of Syrian President Bashar Assad by insurgents, many senior officials and members of his intelligence and security services have reportedly vanished. Activists claim that some have fled the country, while others have sought refuge in their hometowns.
For over five decades, the Assad family has maintained a tight grip on power in Syria, using brutal tactics to suppress dissent and imprisoning those who opposed them in notorious prisons known for torture and killings.
