An estimated 300,000 people have been detained or have died in
prison since the Syrian uprising broke out. Syrians can be arrested
for liking a post on Facebook or for the political activities of a
distant relative. They are imprisoned without trial, and tortured
and starved, often to death. This book is the first to expose the
worst prisons in the Middle East, if not the world. In previous
years it had been too dangerous to undertake research on this
subject, but the enormous numbers of Syrians taking refuge in
neighboring countries and Europe has allowed unprecedented access
to their stories. Based on interviews with both the victims and
perpetrators, survivors’ memoirs and notes, as well as leaked
regime archives, leaked photos, and leaked intelligence files, the
book is a testament of the internment and imprisonment system in
Syria under the rule of the Assads, father and son (1970-2020). A
harrowing account of the machinery of the Assad dynasty, Syrian
Gulag is also an urgent exposé on Syria today.
