Debunking viral image of detainee in Sednaya Prison

Following the downfall of Bashar Al-Assad's regime, users shared images on social media, claiming they showed a detainee in Sednaya Prison before his release.

One caption misleadingly stated, "At first glance one would think this is a scene from a horror movie?! But in fact it is Sednaya prison in Damascus… And what hidden is greater!!"

However, reverse image searches confirmed that the photo depicts a model in Vietnam's War Remnants Museum.

Human rights organizations have documented various torture methods at Sednaya Prison, including secret mass hangings that affected 13,000 detainees.
