SEDNAYA PRISONERS

Summary

Thousands of people have emerged from the nightmare that was Sednaya Prison, unimaginable in its suffering, with the victory of the Syrian Revolution. Known as the “Human Slaughterhouse,” it was a hell where torture was routine, starvation was deliberate, and death came in horrific ways—like the hydraulic press used to crush prisoners, robbing them of life and dignity. They faced conditions no human should for many years. Now free, they are left broken, in body and spirit, struggling to reclaim a stolen life. Your support can help them heal and rebuild.

Solution 

Your help can offer what these survivors most desperately need: medical care for physical wounds that never healed properly, therapy to navigate deep psychological scars, and the very rudiments of survival: food, clothes, shelter. Material necessities are the very lines of lifelines thrown out to people who survived the darkest chapter of human cruelty. Together, we can give them a chance to stand again, stronger and with hope for a better future. 

Why This Matters   

Those who survived Sednaya’s horrors didn’t just endure physical torture; they faced systematic dehumanization. Many were forced to watch friends and loved ones be executed, sometimes crushed by machines designed to erase their existence. These are the survivors who have come out into freedom with nothing—no homes to return to, no families waiting for them, no strength left to face the world alone. In standing with them, you show them that they matter, their suffering wasn’t in vain, and that there is still kindness in a world that seemed to have abandoned them. 

Long-Term Impact

Every act of support is one step closer to the victims regaining their human dignity. Be it funding their medical treatments, psychological support, or even a place to sleep, your acts of kindness can bring hope where all was lost. These survivors have shown unimaginable strength by enduring the unthinkable; what they need now is a hand to rebuild their lives.

Together, we can definitely help them turn their pain into resilience and give them the opportunity to start anew.
