@@jakef.7126 I agree with you. .Putin is a dictator and he wants former USSR be together again under his control but it's impossible. So he wants weaker countries to be destroyed. It's very sad.
ERITREA HAVE THE SAME PRISONS THANKS TO THE TRAINING OF Hafez al-Assad. Congrats to Syrians. My brother have been disappeared by Eritrean regime since 2003.
Kia ora hello brother from Aotearoa new zealand. 😢 I'm so sorry you and your people have to live in fear. I live in a peaceful country we think we have problems..., but when i hear of these MONSTERS running other countries. We don't really have anything to complain about. First world problems 😞 are nothing compared to what a vast majority of the world population is going through just to survive another day 😢 . It's so wrong and unfair all people want is food shelter warmth love and a chance of living unmolested happy lives why is it so hard?. Much AROHA (LOVE) to you from Aotearoa new zealand ❤
I'm sure Putin will protect him. I mean there is an international warrant for Putin out too. There will be one for Assad but these billionaire criminals never come to justice. Its infuriating!!
Assad is a very weak person that's why he runs to be under Putin shoulder to cry on. So sad. But karma will get back to him and his family for what he has done
Someone should inform him more on what happened in Rwanda. It wasn’t just war crimes, there was a genocide and crimes against humanity and yet it went through a reconciliation process known as “Gacaca”. It is critical to rebuilding a broken country.
I think the new Syrian government should borrow a page from the Ukrainians and convert the Saydnaya prison into a museum. When I visited Kiev in 2015, one of the most memorable places I visited was the "Museum of Corruption": the palatial residence (think: Hearst's Castle) of the former leader Viktor Yanukovych who fled the country after the revolution. The Ukrainians wanted visitors to their country to learn about the lavish lifestyle of their former leader (complete with a golf course, a petting zoo, and a restaurant built in the form of a pirate ship), and so they turned his mansion and the surrounding lands into a tourist attraction. Of course, the prison tells a much grimmer story, but it's still a story that people should not forget.
@@sa-k May I ask, who decides the membership of a Shura ?? (I ask as an ignorant Westerner) It sounds to be a good system .. so long as you can get the best people, who will collectively agree on the best solutions.
Julani or Jolani depending on the spelling has said there will be no democracy as that would take away the legitimacy of God. He, Julani, was in charge of Idlib and he imposed Sharia law there.
With ease, read a book, stop being surprised, you yourself think terrible thoughts every day. Stop denying the existence of humanities violent nature. It is only when we admit our problem that we can begin to solve it.
Really horrifying. I wish Syrians, finally have peace and freedom. No more war and hate. I feel so happy that the Syrian will choose their leader and women will have freedom to or not to cover her hair, etc. God bless 🇸🇾.
The fact that the world was silent about such horrible things is completely incomprehensible. I'm from Finland myself and I had no idea about such events. Not enough noise has been made about them. The road to Syria will be difficult, but now there is even a chance to change things. I wish all the best for the people of Syria❤. Thanks to the liberators of political prisoners.
Thank you. I will spare you the pictures, but just know this one example. A young man left from Syria to the Hague and testified about this prison, the Assad regime put this person's family in the prison, that the guy had to return. Then he was jailed with them. This week, his body was found in a fridge. His name is Mazen Hamadeh and this was 5 years ago. This is why no one talks. However, world governments always knew and it's absolutely inexcusable.
there are so many things masses dont know about. You mostly know about the things media reports, which is carefully choreographed and many times motivated by interests at that particular time of reporting
Syrians storming that prison to free people there brings thoughts of the french revolution and storming of the bastille... heres hoping syrians can take some time to review past lessons and build themselves a country they can be proud of. Havent people there had enough of petty warlords and their dramas...
17:00: Alshogre is telling an outright lie here; the HTS revolutionaries were assisted directly by Turkey, and one can argue indirectly by the Iraqi Kurds, the Ukrainians, the Israelis, and earlier on both the Obama-era US and the broader Arab Spring. Nobody truly makes it alone.
The question about forgiveness made me roll my eyes, at least the reporter seems to know it's a little sheltered. Syria is not like South Africa or Northern Island, change didn't come as a result of a low level insurgency and some political compromises. Change came only after 13 years of the most brutal civil war, and while all sides committed crimes over the course of the war, the blame for starting the whole bloody business lies entirely with Assad and his goons. It didn't end in a compromise either, the Assadist regime was soundly defeated in the end and they kept executing prisoner and dissidents right up until the very last moment. No remorse, or even just a self preserving recognition that it is over, only malice. There is no forgiveness for that, there cannot be.
It worked in Germany. Although its not so much about 'forgiveness', more an attempt to stop society from tearing itself apart over terrible injustices. Doesn't mean that those at the top get to avoid justice though.
So no blame attached to the other groups in other regions not controlled by Assad? Groups such as ISIS, Qaeda, F.S.A , The Kurdish rebel groups and of course H.T.S? They have been committing crimes such as beheadings and shooting innocent civilians as well as being responsible for gas attacks in Douma. Also H.T.S applied Sharia law in Idlib where women were stoned to death for accusations of adultery. One was even shot in the head while shopping.
75 million Kurds deserve having an independent state Similar to how minorities like South Sudan, Montenegro, Serbia, East Timor (Timor-Leste), Palau, Eritrea, Czech Republic, Slovakia, North Macedonia, and Croatia recently gained their independence.
Next investigation should be the money hidden in London and Berlin, and many places around the world. Assad and his wife Asma have beautiful british english.
The forgiveness question was asked entirely too soon. Sefiously, do you ask a victim of unspeakable trauma and cruelty to forgive their brutalizer a mere 10 minutes after being freed from them, especially on such a massive corporate scale? smh. Commmmon, let the Syrian courts of justice do their work first without interference from anybody. Then ... start thinking of that stuff. The timing of the question was ridiculous. Besides..., it took Ireland years and years to get to that point. Keep your expectations to yourselves, DW.
Omar ne kadar yakisikli birisin. Senin gibi biri ile evlenmek isterdim. Cunku hep gulumsemeyi, sevmeyi, saygiyi, iyiligi diliyorsun her kes icin. Ve daimi olarak. Bu beni cok etkiledi.
The problem was never actually al-Assad. The problem continues to be the 8 billion people who fail to muster up resources to put a stop to such people.
I like how the reporter used the word "hellhole" to describe Syria under Assad. I've never heard him use this word before. I guess this is the only way to describe an illiberal country where the citizens are tortured and killed. Greece had its share of dictators. It was almost as bad.
This journalist is super incompetent and its a shame for such a serious media as DW to tolerate him so many years. My heart with all the victims in Syria!
The very sad thing is 40 to 50 years ago Syria was a leading Arab country in the world where all religion lived in a mostly secular society with thousands of years of history. Syria should one day return to being a country that can join the EU like Turkye
This is like something out of a horror movie! But this is what Syrians actually went through for decades. Every part of this new path and journey for Syrians, must be for and by Syrians, as to how justice is served and how their country heals itself. All the people on this programme have demonstrated intelligence, honesty and a willingness to shape a new destiny for Syria.
hope the people of russia hand over assad and his family back to syria and face justice.its only politicians with their leader putin cuddles h not the russians i think
Why is UN not doing anything or have not done anything for Syria?I think UN has double standards. So many people suffered under his regime.And using chemical weapons for Syrians it says a lot about nature of folen president and his regime. I hope Syrians will get justice due being so oppress by regime
My heart goes out to the victims. They suffered unspeakable horrors. Hoping a better future for Syrians.
This is what awaits Ukraine and Georgia if they don't fight. This is why we must continue supporting resistance against Putler and his type.
Moldova, Georgia, Kazakhstan too, not to mention western Europe too. Putin is the cancer that has wreaked this havoc on every country, supporting far right extremism and pumping money into dividing people and manipulating democratic elections everywhere.
Thanks, we sadly see camps in occupied Ukraine, Belarus and in Abkhazia. Putin dreams of taking Europe, we must defend ourselves!
Ukraine is fighting...Georgia is not they submit to Putinski!
@@jakef.7126 I agree with you. .Putin is a dictator and he wants former USSR be together again under his control but it's impossible. So he wants weaker countries to be destroyed. It's very sad.
The Hague for Assad and Putin
What about Iran leaders khomeini
Along with Kim Jong Un and his entire regime, and Xi Jingping along with the whole communist party.
@@joefrancis2454 yep, all of them
@philipperholland but icc doesn’t have guts to give arrest warrant to those guys
And Netanyahu
Assad learned a lot from Putin
Both from Asad and Khomeini Iran
These brutal prisons predate Putin. Syrians endured over 50 years of this under both Bashar and his father, Hafez.
Nah, it's more like from US Guantanamo
While his people were suffering, Assad enjoyed a life of luxury!?
Yes? You put this as a question?
Thats the life of a Dictator.
@@JeffBilkinsThe "?!" combination on the internet is usually used to express shock or distress

ERITREA HAVE THE SAME PRISONS THANKS TO THE TRAINING OF Hafez al-Assad. Congrats to Syrians. My brother have been disappeared by Eritrean regime since 2003.
Eritreans situation is by far worst than anyone in the planet, my two brother's are still disappeared since 2007, am hoping still
Africa carries the pain of all these dictators' deeds. I hope for Eritrean freedom, with love from South Africa
I am sorry 😢, hopefully your people will find the strength to end the regime and be wise to not fall in the clutches of another one.

And Putin the other dictator propped up this monster.
And what about bigger monster netneyahoo proped by the west who murdered many thousands of women and children! Has an icc arrest warrant!
Monster protect Monsters.
Putin's doing similar things.
The entire free world must understand: "Who are Russia's friends"!
This prison was a europan gift to Assad family btw, even the funding is from Europe too. You are not that different from Putin
The people of Syria deserves freedom, hope and prosperity, a new start.May God bless them abundantly!
Bring Assad back to face justice 😡😡😡
Putin will protect him.
I'm sure Putin will protect him. I mean there is an international warrant for Putin out too. There will be one for Assad but these billionaire criminals never come to justice. Its infuriating!!
Assad is a very weak person that's why he runs to be under Putin shoulder to cry on. So sad. But karma will get back to him and his family for what he has done
The Assads and hundresd of his cohorts must be brought to justice.
Can’t say I feel bad for Assad getting deposed. This is just straight sinister.
I am just left speechless by this.
Someone should inform him more on what happened in Rwanda. It wasn’t just war crimes, there was a genocide and crimes against humanity and yet it went through a reconciliation process known as “Gacaca”. It is critical to rebuilding a broken country.
This was a family and their thugs thing. It was not ethnicity against another one.
The family need to be brought to justice.

Do you know that the new government of Syria is basically Al Qaeda rebranded? They will use this prisons for torturing their own enemies.
Brutal stuff. May Syrians get through this one with a democracy in the end.
We don't want democracy, we want Shura (consultative decision-making) based system. Democracy is extremely flawed.
@@sa-k May I ask, who decides the membership of a Shura ??

Shows just how evil, evil can be.

@esQmo Plenty of videos about Guantanamo, THIS one however is about Syria and your lovely new houseguest Assad.

Does Finland has internet
there are so many things masses dont know about. You mostly know about the things media reports,
which is carefully choreographed and many times motivated by interests at that particular time of reporting
It’s called the attention economy; a lot of people haven’t been paying attention to the Uighurs, either.
That man is evil.
Why would he grin and try to appear like a good man while he is behind murder and untold grief to other people
This how every criminal looks like initially as good person, but they are dirtiest
like Putin, if you listen only to him in public.
And we were forced to grin and clap for him
Putin propped up Assad , Mao propped up Pol Pot.
And the USA props up anyone who wants to start conflict in the name of weapons sales and profits
Extremely heart breaking to hear the dictatorship's brutal rulling
Agreed. It’s reduced me to tears a few times. It’s absolutely horrific 😢
You can run but you can’t hide forever
With some money and power, you can. The good side always winning is a myth.
it’s crazy that we are able to see historical events from across the world because of technology
Assad should not escape justice, the Syrian people deserve justice after years of abuses they have face by assad regime
Well we know where he's hiding, and we were already going there on related errands so it's on the way...
What about the regimes in charge of the other regions of Syria? They were just as bad
Designed and built by the Russians.
Russians and Iran
Also build by the GDR (East Germany) during the Cold War. The Stasi taught torture to Syrian police/military. 😭😭😭
Lukashenko and Putin, you are next!
😂 keep dreaming
@JuliusCeaser_ tell this to Asad, Kaddafi, etc
I doubt they will be alive to stand trial
And Orban. And Trump. They are all on the same side.
Forgiveness? Really.... How about accountability
I thought the same. Such a silly suggestion to people who have suffered such atrocities at this juncture.
this is eloquently addressed in the responses. How would you have phrased the question?
@@shimmyshammNot silly, just a difficult situation to ask anything about.
And the world did nothing while Syrians were sufferings. Despicable! Utterly despicable!
Yes but that is governments for you . They hide alot of truths
And Putin has been protecting his fellow dictator by using chemical weapons on the Syrian civilians
Unfortunately 😢
Come on! How old are you? Do u think these things don’t happen elsewhere? Unfortunately it does.
Syrians storming that prison to free people there brings thoughts of the french revolution and storming of the bastille... heres hoping syrians can take some time to review past lessons and build themselves a country they can be proud of.

The soldiers who were carrying out the torture should also be jailed smfh
AllahuAkabar - Allah will give reward to all those suffered in this prison if they continued to pray 5 times a day
It is a shame that they escaped justice
That guy should be in the new Syrian government, so well spoken!
He must face justice
Imagine of how many places like this must exist in Russia, Iran, North Korea and China.

Syria learned torture fron Russia
The two guests really complimented each other. Thank you
my pray for Syria
@omar thank you for that beautiful story!! The most clear example of the syrian people being able to overcome.
It’s hard to be angry with some of these collaborators, they were put into horrible positions to make horrible choices no one should have to make.
Yeah, it's likely to have touched everyone at some point. Syria must not tear itself apart over this.
May Syria find healing, peace, and justice for the crimes committed to her people. 🙏
Guantanamo was a joke
True
The entire free world must understand: "Who are Russia's friends"!
Syrians got rid of their dictator, while Americans just picked their first one!
This just like the IR theocracy in Iran
JUSTICE.
I hope that everyone who has gone out in to the world, and gotten a skill, can return to help build up Syria
There needs to be strong justice for the tortured victims of Assad and his gang! ‼️

Justice then forgiveness
Assad is an honorary ruzzian citizen now. So he is safe.
He represents tradition Russian values
Syria with great people
And who keeps Asad from justice? Of course ruzzia, because they share "values".
"Values", that's right!

We really to see a peace and harmony life to all the people of Syria and should be banned any voilance from different groups
Many of the enemies of Israel are incredibly cruel and much of the press has downplayed this for years.
