A 2014 document found in Syria's notorious Sednaya Military Prison revealed an official request addressed to the highest military levels, requesting the preparation of a room to "preserve corpses" that could accommodate at least 50 bodies.
The shocking justification for this request, as stated in the document, dated April 2014, is the need to "preserve the bodies of detainees who die in prison," citing logistical difficulties in transporting bodies to hospital morgues using transport vehicles.
The document, which appeared in the form of a "presentation memorandum," was issued by the Commander of the Military Police, Major General Akram Salloum al-Abdullah, to the Chief of Staff of the Army and Armed Forces, General Ali Abdullah Ayoub, who signed the memorandum in approval.
