COULD NOT HOLD BACK TEARS

The United Nations (UN) Special Envoy for Syria, Geir Pedersen, toured the Sednaya Prison, where opposition protesters are held and tortured by the Assad regime. Accompanied by his delegation, Pedersen inspected the Sednaya Prison, known as a torture center, and spoke with the relatives and families of those detained. During the visit, Pedersen was presented with information about the prison as he visited the cells one by one. During the visit, when some relatives of prisoners were mourning, a female UN official could not hold back her tears after leaving the cell.

“WHAT WE SAW HERE IS AN UNDESCRIBABLE HORROR”

Later, in a statement to the press, Pedersen said, "For the necessary actions to be taken, this process must start with support for families, survivors, and victims, and with the preservation of evidence. This is extremely important. As I have said before, what we saw here today is an indescribable horror and must never be repeated anywhere in the world. Thanks to justice, we will not let this incident go, and we can ensure that it does not happen again."

“THIS IS A CRUCIAL ISSUE”

Emphasizing once again the need to preserve documents for justice, UN Special Envoy for Syria Pedersen stated, "We need to ensure that we are preserving the documents. Therefore, this needs to be emphasized. This is an extremely critical issue," he said.

“ONE OF THE MANY TRAGEDIES”

Pedersen, who said, "From the very first day I started this job, we have been working on the detainees," added, "This is certainly one of the many tragedies of the Syrian civil war and previous years. As I said, this really, really needs to end and never happen again. Let’s make sure we support the survivors and their families. They need us more than ever."
