Kurdish political prisoners in Adra Prison and Sednaya Military Prison, Damascus, Syria are suffering degrading conditions similar to those that were suffered by prisoners in the Middle Ages. Dozens of young Kurds lie behind high walls and inside dark corridors, hidden in isolation from the outside world, with minimum medical services. These are political prisoners, supporters of the Democratic Union Party, the PKK and PYD, and Sittar – a women’s organization. They stay in individual cells deprived of contact with each other and with their families, subjected to various types of psychological and physical torture.
