The names of nearly 8,000 people tortured to death in Syrian regime prisons over the past seven years were released on Sunday evening, in the latest confirmation of a campaign of systematic slaughter of detainees by the country's intelligence services.
The list of the murdered prisoners - which is not a complete account of all those who have been killed at the hands of the regime's prison guards - was released by website Zaman AlWasl with coordination from the Violations Documentation Centre in Syria, and comes on the back of the release of a huge number of death notices served to the families of detainees.
The 7,953 victims named in the document include men, women and children, who were tortured to death in regime jails since the outbreak of anti-government protests in Syria in 2011 until 2018.
