Tadmur prison massacre 46 years on
Forty-six years have passed since the Tadmur Prison massacre that occurred on June 27, 1980, when elements of the "Defence Brigades" led by Rifaat Assad carried out mass executions of hundreds of detainees after destroying the prison. The massacre resulted in the deaths of approximately a thousand prisoners in less than an hour. Human rights testimonies and documents confirm that the massacre was part of a systematic policy of repression and the elimination of political opponents, remaining a painful chapter in Syrian memory until the prison's destruction in 2015.
