(UPI) Thanaa Imam - Lashings with copper cables, electrical shocks, cigarette burns, and other forms of torture have caused deaths and serious injury to political prisoners and other inmates in Syria, says a report by the Syrian Organization of Human Rights. The report said that 30 Syrian nationals living in exile in Iraq had returned home and were arrested, taken to Daraa' prison near Damascus, placed in solitary confinement, tortured, and refused any contact with the outside world. Najdat Berri suffocated at a detention center in Latakia when his torturers plunged his head in a bucket of water, and Firas Mahmoud Abdullah was tortured to death at a security detention center in Damascus last month, the report said. 2004-02-05 00:00:00Full Article
