Assad government hanged 13,000 people in Syrian 'slaughterhouse'

President Assad denies that "between 2011 and 2015, every week and often twice a week, groups of up to 50 people were taken out of their prison cells and hanged to death. In five years, as many as 13,000 people, most of them civilians believed to be opposed to the government, were hanged in secret at Saydnaya," wrote Amnesty International in a report released on Monday, which called the prison a “human slaughterhouse.”", however it has been reported by human rights organizations.
