As an Arabic speaker, the experiences the former prisoner was telling you about sound even more harrowing when you hear it in his native tongue. He was talking about how he still carries the trauma of the prison gaurds knocking the cell doors, and how even after liberation, whenever a door was knocked at home he would revert to that same level of panic and fear. Rami did an excellent job of interpreting this story back to you.
i have/had this with metal gates beeing closed ... everytime i hear a metal gate squeek and then close im suddenly feeling like im 12y old again and in major fear of my father coming home
Thats how I am whenever I hear people talking a room away or behind a door. Its instant panic and, even after damn near a decade, I still find myself having to talk myself down and remind myself that I'm safe. @yuzuchi5381
I met Rami last year (November 23) when we were in Syria to run the Damascus Marathon. Considering we also went to Homs and Aleppo, it utterly blows my mind to see the complete flip in the country in just one year. I'm wishing nothing but the best for the people of Syria - such a wonderful people, a country with so much hope and potential.

"How could he forget" such weight to that, and, of course. Rami is such a gem, I hope he can overcome the suffering he and his people have been through. I wish him and all the others effected by these horrors the absolute best.
This is one of Benjamin's best video, probably the best because it documents the aftermath of a revolution, what happened in Syria documented like this, amazing Bald and Bankrupt.
My friend was killed in the prison named "Palestine Branch". He was a pharmacy student in Homs university who wrote a facebook post criticizing the dictatorship in Syria and the dictator Assad in 2011.
I lost my two brothers in this prison. As many Syrians people who’s lost some of their family members in this prison, we will never forget this people who pass away peacefully there , who make our country free again. Now u can Rest in peace my brothers
I am a syrian myself , I couldn't watch the whole video because I get depressed when seeing my country on youtube , how people comment about it , sednaya prison and the suffering we came through Anyways I am still sure that bald made a great effort without watching the vid Keep the good work All love from syria
Bald trying to appear calm for the vid but he wasn't in places. That shove was adrenaline. No wonder when wandering around that place with those poor women trying to find any trace of their loved ones.
Those of us sitting in our snug little homes, with our phones in front of us, watching this video…. We are effing blessed!!!!!!!! God bless these people and hopefully they will have their democratic society.
You are aware that the leader of the 'movement' who took over had a 10,000,000 dollar bounty on his head by the US Government? He's a LITERAL terrorist.
I'm so sorry to all the families that have suffered in Syria. I'm from Australia and i sometimes forget how lucky i am. I hope you all find peace and happiness again.
As a Venezuelan living in Chile, it's so harrowing to me to listen all of the horrors of Sednaya for the fact that in my country there is a similar facility know as "El Helicoide", know for harboring political prisioners and being called "the biggest torture centre of Latin America". anyway, great video, I appreciate how you talked about this topic.
As a Brazilian I feel ashamed that the thugs who have been running my country lately support or at least don't condemn regimes that torture people like the one in Venezuela or Iran. May all the people who either do, support or turn a blind eye to situations like this be held accountable for their deeds.
I was in Syria in 2011, just before the uprising. Syrian people are the kindest I ever met. I hope they will now know peace, security and freedom. Safe travels to you and God bless and protect Syrian people.
I’m no geopolitical expert but I wonder what will happen in Syria. Iraq and Libya struggled after their dictators were removed. I’m glad the regime is gone I just hope they can have a stable government.
If America keeps their foot in their politics and doesn't let the government and the people decide for themselves then no. Syria has to remain for their people
Every nation has struggled when its changed. The struggle is worth it. Deal with a shitty few years....to have decades of prosperity. Only if it's done right anyway. It's hard to stop the few corrupt individuals that could bring entire nations down.
If the new Syrian leaders are true to there promise to rebuild the new Syria. The country will prosper. Let's unite and pray for the Syrian citizens and the new leaders🙏🙏🙏
I'm a historian, and seeing this, it's just history happening in front of me (us)! But i couldn't stop thinking: we must archive all of that information that it's just abandoned throughout the prison itself. That way is the only way to preserve the memory of the grotesque actions that the Assad regime has done to its people. The detainees photos... if they're not preserved (archived), the future generations will not remember this. Great video!!
Indeed. ALL of the papers, photos and books should be scooped up, analyzed, documented and guarded. An example from history I remember, when the fall of Saigon happened, with the famous scenes of the US embassy evacuations.. Afterwards, All of the shredded papers left behind in were gathered up and meticulously pieced together.
Preserving the history is very important. They are still puzzling the shredded documents together in Germany, after the east German regime fell. It was astonishing how many informations the East Germans put together, even from west german citizens.
The detainees photos did not look suspicious to you ? Everything is a mess but here they are, just neatly arranged. Reminds me of the 911 passports frankly.

Extraordinary reporting. So good to enable the syrians to tell these stories even with balds special flavor interjected. May there be peace and security for the syrian people
It was not only Syrians who were in those prisons. They also kidnapped thousands of people from Lebanon who basically disappeared and probably were taken to these prisons too. One of them was a distant relative of mine who disappeared in October 1976
What a legend this bald fella is, never thought I’d watch a video like this but Mr baldy over here helped us see what’s happening out there. Keep up the grind Bald and be safe 👍🏼
I have to say, I was truly ignorant of what was happening in Syria. Yes, I knew they were under a dictatorship, but I didn't realise it was as bad as this. I want to thank you for educating me. My heart breaks for those poor people looking for loved ones. Amazing video bald.
Love you bald. Thank you for shedding light on people who rarely get any attention. Wishing the syrian people the best, hopefully they can break out of that cycle
Why would you have any doubt? Just because they are an islamist group close to al-Qaeda doesn't mean they're going to do horrible things to this country... I mean... Right? 🤔
No better way to start my day off than a B&B video!! The man you have guiding you seems like a wonderful guy, it makes me really happy seeing the Syrian people finally exhale and walk with freedom and peace. I hope they feel what they're feeling now for years to come!

@Notorious46 buddy nobody over the age of 30 has any illusions about the state of the middle east. It's an endless rotating clownshow, it really doesn't matter what brand of extremism or what face is at the head of it.
I visited Damascas in the early 90's - It was a warm, welcoming place with kind, generous people. I hope that you all get the future you are hoping for 🙏
This is going to be a historic video on your channel. The stuff you showed us is simply beyond evil. Also props to the gentleman who showed you even without understanding the conversations he had you could tell he had such great empathy.
I'm glad that you got help from the MIT (Turkish intelligence) to gain unlimited access to documents and old buildings! Could you please interview someone from the HTS? I'm obviously not claiming that Assad was a saint but compared to Al Qaeda (the new government) he was.
@goonerboz6023 The Assad regime was demonic and it’s great that they are gone. But what replaced them is also bad, DO NOT trust the HTS and SNA. There are already reports emerging of crimes and attacks committed against ethnic and religious minorities. The SNA also ethnically cleansed the Kurdish population of the Afrin region of Syria. I truly, truly wish the best for the people of Syria regardless of their ethnicity or religion and i hope some sort of closure, peace and justice prevails after years of suffering from war, dictatorship and terrorism. Yet, i am afraid that one regime was simply replaced by another one.
Bald, that book at 2 minutes was history mate. And the next ones a few minutes later. Genuinely, this series is your best yet. History as it's being made.
Ben....Im starting to view you these days more along the lines of an investagative journalist. Please continue to get these stories out to the world! 👍🏽❤
It's terrible that places like this exist in the world. This was a fantastic video but it also was one of the darkest ones I've seen. Thank you for bringing this to the world.
love Bald and bankrupt vids and his dedication to go to these places and show the rest of us that the world is not what we see and live the freedoms we enjoy, that not everyone has
Seeing the relatives of the lost prisoners still desperately looking for their family aches my heart... The people of Syria deserve a future where they shouldn't fear for their safety and can be absolutely free at the comfort of their homes. Praying to the people of Syria for a better, much safer future 🙏
His mannerisms and tone of voice give off "im pretending really hard to act sad and mournful" but he is not like this in any other video, he's usually jokey and unserious and even makes fun of people in a lighthearted way. Thats what makes these Syria videos seem forced and unnatural, something not right.
@celticbarry9877 It’s not forced, the nature of these videos is different from his usual tourism travel videos and he understands what he is covering is quite heavy and dark. So he is behaving in a somber and respectful way. It would be in poor taste to joke around while covering something like this.
one of your best vlogs in the West we can't imagine how these people were treated, at least some survived and the Syrian people are now free, they must be grateful to the brave Syrian fighters
Exactly like they did in every other prison in the world that gets liberated. When the gates opened and they all spilled out. It's now time for the "New Boss".
@@mickeyblue8 try publicly criticizing your new unelected leader and see if anything changed. Freedom and Democracy keep dreaming, they dont even have freedom and democracy in western countries.
Yeah, Assad and the poor prison guards never did anything wrong :( all they wanted to do was to bake cookies with the prisoners. It's not their fault that the prisoners threw themselves inside dark cells and executed themselves :(
Those prisons look as if they have been derelict for years rather than a week or two. What about the toilet in the first prison? Shouldn’t that of stunk? Surely bald would have mentioned it. Something does not seem right, but I might be wrong. There was no furniture in the places like desks to book people in, just big empty rooms and cells. The kitchen surely would have looked as if everything was still in place but even that looked derelict. Vanessa Beeley who lived in the country would say different on how the country was run.
Please, try to use logical thinking. It was robbed by fleeing guards, then by rebels and/or local people and former prisoners. Of course it isn`t museum, but it completely make sense. And Vanessa, how often she visited fucking prison?
@@annother3350 aa, yeah, interview with dictator, what can convince more. No further logic and common sense required. assad looks like fine guy on posters, therefore, he is good guy.

I visited Damascas in the early 90's - It was a warm, welcoming place with kind, generous people. I hope that you all get the future you are hoping for 🙏
This is going to be a historic video on your channel. The stuff you showed us is simply beyond evil. Also props to the gentleman who showed you even without understanding the conversations he had you could tell he had such great empathy.
Some of the discarded stuff looks like it's been there for years.
I’m from Australia I’m so happy for the good people of Syria I hope and pray u peace for the rest of life ❤
Nope. just another evil entering the leadership!
I'm glad that you got help from the MIT (Turkish intelligence) to gain unlimited access to documents and old buildings! Could you please interview someone from the HTS?
I'm obviously not claiming that Assad was a saint but compared to Al Qaeda (the new government) he was.
Wrong
We also must remember that those prisons also kept ISIS locked up.
ISIs are the government now so 🤷♂️
And common criminals !
@@joebidet2050 Yes it goes both ways.
People on Death Row in the US always say they're innocent and were wrongfully imprisoned too
Thanks for showing us these horrible realities. People need to see how dark it can get.
I'm telling you, this channel is by far the best news channel on this planet.
The fact that you think this is a news channel tells a lot about how bad news channels are now lol
Still bankrupt?
He now goes by the name "Bald and 50 cent"
He got a nice fat check from MI6
bald and recently employed by the crown
Now, You have the unique opportunity to made Syria new, from scrach. Believe in you self and do the right things. Great video Bald, as usual...
the rebel leader was second in command of isis and al qaeda in syria hes on the terrorist wanted list
But baldy says they are the good guys bruv. (;
The most wanted terrorist in the world is Netanyahu and he's not even on the most wanted list. Those lists are a joke bro.
@PalimPalim-y7l Thats why I'm suspicious
@@Cthulhu013 he helped the rebels with turkey
@goonerboz6023
The Assad regime was demonic and it’s great that they are gone. But what replaced them is also bad, DO NOT trust the HTS and SNA. There are already reports emerging of crimes and attacks committed against ethnic and religious minorities. The SNA also ethnically cleansed the Kurdish population of the Afrin region of Syria.
I truly, truly wish the best for the people of Syria regardless of their ethnicity or religion and i hope some sort of closure, peace and justice prevails after years of suffering from war, dictatorship and terrorism.
Yet, i am afraid that one regime was simply replaced by another one.
Finally someone covers these prisons. I have been keeping up with sednaya and NO ONE is talking about it
Bald, that book at 2 minutes was history mate. And the next ones a few minutes later.
Genuinely, this series is your best yet. History as it's being made.
Snowflake
Love the way this channel is going. Keep it up!
yes right down the tubes.
Straight up made me cry… absolutely terrible.. Love from
Canada
Ben....Im starting to view you these days more along the lines of an investagative journalist. Please continue to get these stories out to the world! 👍🏽❤
It's terrible that places like this exist in the world. This was a fantastic video but it also was one of the darkest ones I've seen. Thank you for bringing this to the world.
There must be a story behind the fact that there was only one China video ?
Yeah, the CCP probably clocked on that he's a paid Mossad/CiA/MI5 agent...
True!
It struck me as odd how he talked about a memorial of a massacre in that video but didn't mention anything about the Tiananmen Square massacre.
love Bald and bankrupt vids and his dedication to go to these places and show the rest of us that the world is not what we see and live the freedoms we enjoy, that not everyone has
Mr Bald, im disappointed to see you failed to say no to that fat check from the propaganda creators, this is sooo obvious!
i feel the same somehow..while watching that thought came to my head often, it seems staged!!
Seeing the relatives of the lost prisoners still desperately looking for their family aches my heart...
The people of Syria deserve a future where they shouldn't fear for their safety and can be absolutely free at the comfort of their homes.
Praying to the people of Syria for a better, much safer future 🙏
Worst acting I’ve ever seen, and I’ve watched eastenders…….P R O P A G A N D A 😂
His mannerisms and tone of voice give off "im pretending really hard to act sad and mournful" but he is not like this in any other video, he's usually jokey and unserious and even makes fun of people in a lighthearted way. Thats what makes these Syria videos seem forced and unnatural, something not right.
Shame on you
@@celticbarry9877 Yeah he should totally crack some jokes during a tour in two of the world's worst prisons... Do y'all hear yourselves???
@celticbarry9877
It’s not forced, the nature of these videos is different from his usual tourism travel videos and he understands what he is covering is quite heavy and dark. So he is behaving in a somber and respectful way. It would be in poor taste to joke around while covering something like this.
Cutting edge Y.T content again Ben - thank you.
long time fan. this is true journalism
And which country has been known to apply various pressure, influence, sanctions and funding terrorrist for "regime change?"
next video , Guantanamo Bay detention camp
Nah, it's his sponsors' facility. He won't go.
one of your best vlogs in the West we can't imagine how these people were treated, at least some survived and the Syrian people are now free, they must be grateful to the brave Syrian fighters
When did the captured isis fighters go from terrorists to innocent prisoners?
when needed to uncle Sam,
Exactly like they did in every other prison in the world that gets liberated. When the gates opened and they all spilled out. It's now time for the "New Boss".
something wierd how you got entry into that place, and now does anti assad propaganda.
some hutzpah though a 🤣
That guys and woman from CNN lied so that place kinda lost credibility.
Thank you! The world needs to see this.
*The looting must have been insane*
Free Aks FOR EVERYONE
Of a prison?
I'd have took the log books and photos and the army jacket and hat 😂
There’s much of looting
Country already been destroyed and in bad shape.
Just imagine all the traps Stimpee could make inside that prison
Shameful propaganda at worst, shameful opportunism at best.
Why is it propaganda?
Yep by the Syrian regime but it’s finally over
@@mickeyblue8 try publicly criticizing your new unelected leader and see if anything changed. Freedom and Democracy keep dreaming, they dont even have freedom and democracy in western countries.
This is truly one of the best videos… great doc. ❤❤❤
Everything is going to be great now..we saw that on Christmas eve'..
Bald, Blink if your in trouble buddy! your followers can smell it.
This was a tough one to watch, but an important one. Thank you, Bald
Looks to me like this place was abandoned years ago 🤔
getting little propaganda vibes
You're giving pro-assad vibes.
Little?
Yeah, Assad and the poor prison guards never did anything wrong :( all they wanted to do was to bake cookies with the prisoners. It's not their fault that the prisoners threw themselves inside dark cells and executed themselves :(
I'm getting BIG ones the last two videos. Used to be a fan, but Bald sold out to the establishment.
@@surethatsok Him being anti-assad does not make him a part of the establishment.
I always enjoy your content. You are very courageous on these adventures and I learn a lot from you. Continue your journeys and be safe.
This guy sounds like boris Johnson on full bulls#@t mode
Those prisons look as if they have been derelict for years rather than a week or two. What about the toilet in the first prison? Shouldn’t that of stunk? Surely bald would have mentioned it. Something does not seem right, but I might be wrong. There was no furniture in the places like desks to book people in, just big empty rooms and cells.
The kitchen surely would have looked as if everything was still in place but even that looked derelict.
Vanessa Beeley who lived in the country would say different on how the country was run.
Everything was ambushed and looted by the rebels and others
I have to say, I trust Vanessa Beeley and she had met Assad a few times
Please, try to use logical thinking. It was robbed by fleeing guards, then by rebels and/or local people and former prisoners. Of course it isn`t museum, but it completely make sense. And Vanessa, how often she visited fucking prison?
@@annother3350 aa, yeah, interview with dictator, what can convince more. No further logic and common sense required. assad looks like fine guy on posters, therefore, he is good guy.
@@annother3350you shouldn’t trust people who meet with dictators
Sobering - excellent work Benjamin
Could really do without the background music for the next video. Wasn’t too bad at the beginning but seemed to get louder over time
Notice how it creeps up on you?
Thank you for making this video
