World discovers another Holocaust
The Association of Detainees and the Missing in Sednaya Prison (ADMSP), which is an organization which aims on unfurling and exposing the darker truth about the dark Syrian Civil War that still remains very much unknown to the rest of the World.
The Syrian Civil War is considered to be the biggest humanitarian crises that the modern world has witnessed. It started back in 2011 and is still on going, not having the plan to stop anytime soon. A deadly war that broke out between the government led by President Bashar al-Assad and the pro-democratic opponents of the Assad regime.

According to research led by the Association of Detainee and the Missing in Sednaya Prison, the Syrian government has used the Sednaya Prison near Damascus as the central prison to detain political prisoners during the Civil War where the detainees remain detached from the rest of the world forced to live under unsurpassable circumstances.
The prison was purposely made devoid of basic amenities necessary for human survival such as food, medical aid and hygienic toilets. Prisoners were tortured beyond human imagination. Basically, the Sednaya prison was a manually operated death machine situated in the heart of Syria.
This report was formulated after interviewing hundreds of detainees as well as ex-prisoners from the prison in person which is where the trauma just starts to begin.
It is reported that the Sednaya prison consists of something known as the ‘Salt Room’.
What are Salt Rooms?
Salt Rooms are small rooms inside of the Sednaya prison constructed particularly to store the dead bodies of all the detainees who were killed inside the walls of Hell. These rooms are said to be filled with knee deep level of rock salt where perished prisoners were swarmed and hoarded.
These rooms are built rooting to a similar concept from ancient Egypt called Mummification. Egyptians preserved dead bodies by trying to slow the natural decomposition process by dehydrating the dead body in naturally occurring substances like a special type of salt harvested from lake beds called Natron.
According to experts, Salt has the potential to slow down the process of decomposition of dead bodies so that they can be preserved longer than usual. A room full of salt can be considered as a promising alternative to modern day morgues.
The haunting discovery
An ex-prisoner from the Sednaya prison, who wished to remain anonymous, in an interview with ADMSP revealed his incidental firsthand encounter with the unknown walls of the Salt Room during his detention period in the Sednaya Prison.
He told he was arrested on falsely claimed charges and detained forcefully. He recalls being taken and locked in a room which seemed strangely filled with salt in which his legs submerged.
With the initial confusion gradually leaving, what swept in brought chill down his spine as he stepped on a dead body that was camouflaged with layers of salt almost hiding it. The sequel to this was the sight to many more dead bodies which remained lifeless drawing a metaphor of their dark ending to the white of the salt in which they lay.
He also revealed that the food which was served to the detainees, once in a blue moon, remained deprived of even a tiniest crystal of salt which as to be the biggest irony.
Salt Rooms of the Sednaya Prison in Syria is the exact representation of the Infamous case of Holocaust of the Nazi Germany from the World War II.
The Sednaya Prison is an identical twin to the German ‘Gas Chambers’ which existed during the World War II. A typical case of Genocide!
These Salt Rooms were constructed to keep up and align to the uncountable number of mass-killing under the dictator government of Assad. The Assad regime murdered innocent civilians, detaining them just to torture.
Most of them died out of diseases and hunger forced to sustain in inhuman conditions. The authorities stored their dead bodies in these rooms till the time when there were a handful to be carried in trucks to dump remotely once in a while.
The families of the deceased detainees were not even given their death certificates until they bribed the authorities heavily.
