Human Organ Trafficking Networks Linked To Syrian Military Hospitals

Videos circulating online appear to show evidence of torture occurring at the Tishreen military hospital in Syria. The footage reportedly documents the suffering of thousands of detainees within the facility. The hospital is located approximately 30 kilometers from Damascus. The reports aim to reopen investigations into historical abuses in the country. Human rights and international organizations have documented cases of thousands of detainees dying after being transferred to military hospitals in Syria. Reports and testimonies suggest that organs were sold through networks extending to multiple countries at varying prices. The lack of documentation for bodies and the absence of names for detainees have created an environment where these activities occur. The source noted that the security system makes it difficult to penetrate these networks. The footage reportedly documents abuses occurring during the era of former President Bashar al-Assad. One scene in the footage shows a deceased body. Circulating videos from the past hour allegedly document torture occurring within a Syrian military hospital. These networks allegedly operated within the context of the Syrian conflict.
