The coronavirus has reached the areas of Syria crushed by the jackboots of the fascist Al Assad regime. It is estimated that there are already 4,000 cases, with 280 deaths.
The regime has taken this pandemic to the human slaughterhouses that are the Assadite prisons, where the torture of the prisoners of the 2011 revolution did not stop for a minute. 240 prisoners have already been known to die from this pandemic, which prisoners now must suffer, in addition to the conditions of extreme cold, hunger and overcrowding in which they find themselves. The fact that prisoners already have scabies due to the enormous lack of hygiene implies the coronavirus will rapidly expand and no prisoner will be safe from contagion. And as soon as symptoms begin, they will not have medical attention, since, as survivors of these torture chambers have reported, each prisoner who requests it gets tortured in such a way that he rarely escapes alive.
To the deaths under torture that Al Assad had done in the prisons, where tens and perhaps hundreds of political prisoners are, now the coronavirus is added, which is an almost certain death sentence. They cannot remain in prison for one more day. The freedom of all Syrian political prisoners must be won now!
