'Palestinian': Syrian detention facilities are human slaughterhouses

A prominent 'Palestinian' writer who spent three weeks in detention in Syria describes Bashar al-Assad's detention facilities as 'human slaughterhouses.'

Salameh Kaileh, 56, a prominent Palestinian writer who was jailed in Syria for just under three weeks from April 24, described the detention facilities there as “human slaughterhouses” in an interview with the Associated Press.

“I felt I was going to die under the brutal, savage and continuous beating of the interrogators, who tied me to ropes hung from the ceiling,” said Kaileh.

He said security agents beat detainees with batons, crammed them into stinking cells and tied them to beds at night. “It was hell on earth,” Kaileh said after being released and deported to Jordan. He had bluish-red bruises on his legs, which he said were the result of beatings with wooden batons that were studded with pins and nails.

Sounds just like 'Palestine,' doesn't it?
