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 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
"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.
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.
If you're not trolling but telling the truth, it's quite a miracle that your family friend survived almost 40 years of that prison hell. It's so shocking that someone can survive so long in that fricken prison. Blessings to your friend's family and, above all, to the person who suffered in this prison for so long ❤
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 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.

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 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.
Same here, even though I live in very humble circumstances in the US I can move freely vote freely and live in peace. I wish so much Syria can recover its former beauty someday ❤.
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.
It’s great that someone is covering these stories that for some reason get forgotten by mainstream media or portrayed in twisted ways! It’s great to see the people of Syria finally free and hopeful! Happy new year!!
It’s not forgotten. It is ignored. There is the a huge difference between the 2 words. Forgot is claiming innocence. The news all cater to the agenda of shareholders who have invested in the news source to control people’s perception on what is going on in the world.
Flippin Top Notch Quality upload we got here. Thanks Ben. You let us know what it's REALLY like around the world, not what governments want us to think it's like. Real people, real testimony. It's whats needed.

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.
People will look back on these videos in the future, and you too will also be part of history. As documenting this right as soon as it happened. Bravo. Crazy to think about.
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
It's important that all that documentation be preserved. Those logbooks and other records that are strewn around. There was a previous video showing filing cabinets full of documents. I hope the new government hast he foresight to save this information.
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 👍🏼

@@mychannel5019 Lol, he never once goes into who HTS are in any real detail. Tell us about Jolani being baghdadi's right hand man, the formation of Nusra Front etc etc, naaaah 'Assad bad' :( :( :(. So so sad I heard they found Tupac on floor 56 of Sednaya. If you think Assad is bad then what replaced him is many times worse.
@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.
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.
Hi Bald! I highly recommend your book to anyone who is interested in having a TH-cam channel. Travel focused or other🎉I thought it was full of insight and so much useful information. Thankyou for being transparent and supportive of those who lack or have no confidence as you once did. And I enjoyed your many humorous moments. For me? I will just start with the first video on what I feel passionately about. I know you'd agree! Best wishes to you!
I am in tears. I feel for the people. The former prisoner going back to treat his trauma what a absolute hero. Tonhave the strength to go back is truely bravery. As someone from the uk i can not imagine the horrors of war just what we see on the news (i dont watch msm) and to see on youtube and tiktok (where the truth is told) as a pagan i wish the gods and their gods to protect these people 🙏
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'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.
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.
Why didn'n you ask one of the main questions: what will happen to real criminals, who gain freedom? How many of them now, and who are those people, who illiberated them
@busthebest @catarinaostafi9726 As a syrian myself, I will try answering your question here . During the regime time , the real criminals who commit crimes, actually did not get arrested, as they would be hired by the government to kill people ( The regime army included not only army, but also civilian criminals) . The detainess that were freed from those prisons, are political detainess ( people who just wanted freedom for syria, or any other normal reason). Rememebr, a government who does this horrible thing to its people, Likes the criminals, and. does not impression them. I am open for discussion if you feel you still need more information.
Benjamin, this is by far your best work. I had no idea about some of the things I saw. Truly heart wrenching. Thank you for all you do to show us real life, as sad as it is for some. P.S. you shouldn't have tried to push that woman into the hole dude :).
It's really not as bad as they say, look how big the windows are too in front of the cells lol. Barely a dungeon, it's just a standard ass 3rd world country prison.
Hopefully The Christians won't get persecuted under new Syrian rule. I spoke to some of them and they are very scared. People have already threathened Churches and burned Christmas trees the last few days....... 😡
Syria had an independent banking system , no Rothschild central bank . The last countries to attempt this was Germany in the 1930s ,Iran , Libya , Cuba, North Korea and look what happened to them
Bald I have been following you forever and I can tell you really hit jackpot when u visited all these places in Syria and saw it firsthand and became part of history forever in those videos 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻😊
Not seen the whole video yet, but gotta say, you make it sound like all of the prisoner where saints, and that torture where constant at all time, idk much about Syrian prison, but my perception is that this might be a propaganda piece of some sort
Bald. Your idea for this cover for your Mi6 job is brilliant you have been in every major conflict days before or after they happen. Coincidence I think not
We cannot comprehend the terror and suffering that people here must have gone through. You bring sights unseen to most of us with full information and input from locals who understand. I was upset though by how you threw down the photograph of the young woman. That action seemed to be further discarding of her as we would not know if she ever got to be free.
@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.
BROTHER the pants sniffing full sent me, ngl. The juxtaposition with the affair being depicted in the video just made it funnier for me. Not even the fact that you kept it in the video, just the fact that your brain chemicals led you to do that, its hilarious.
The regime with 100s of thousands murdered is replaced by a guy sharing power with religious minorities and appointing women to top roles - not exactly OBL.
What are you talking about? I literally saw "legacy media" news reports, boots on the ground, a day or two after Assad's fall. In the Sednaya prison too.
In my country, prisons are usually very ill maintained and overcrowded. If you remove the prisoners, they won't look much better than those prisons presented in the video. It is also worth noting that those places were certainly looted and that there was probably an attempt to erase evidence by burning documents in some cases (I already saw a video from some news outlet that covered that attempt of destroying information in several places).
Give it 2-10 years and we will probably call them terrorists again. The western 3 letter agencies are quite fickle when it comes to whom to support at any given moment. Yesterday ISIS, today rebels. Can't make this sheet up.

Ridiculous propaganda that british state M16 regime change officer Bald is pushing out. Using paid actors like CNN did the other day.
Someone needs to preserve the books/logs. That's important history even if it seems minor. It can be digitized. Just needs to be collected.
Yep. Most dictatorships are big on record keeping and those depositories can be the sources for all sorts of research.

13 years is a LONG time
Thank you Mr Bald for this! May God bless the people of Syria! You have suffered too much and for too long. I pray your future will be healing.
Thanks for showing us these horrible realities. People need to see how dark it can get.
Would be great if you could document the "hell on earth" that is Gaza at the moment. Gaza is like this prison x 1,000.
Thank you for the real journalism you do. It is much needed and appreciated

He’s not a journalist he’s a TH-camr

lol what? Please define journalism.
Its one kind of journalism .lol.@@bobreed250
bro is clearly bias😂 have you seen his soviet videos
Ha, Rami! And Mary! Nice to see the Guides are safe and working ❤
11:13 bald, great footage, but sometimes it's better to talk less and let the vibe speak for itself, the guide puts it well " how could he forget"
Yes, and in that vein, I would have advised against slapping the obnoxious "dramatic" music over the footage... it's just crass and disrespectful.
@@CosmicTeapot Womp Womp cry about it
Bald 2 years ago: "Syria is an amazing place."
Bald now: "How awful Syria was"
The people, yes. The regime, no. It's not difficult to understand.
@@mychannel5019 Bald would not have been allowed to film in Syria without the regime's approval, without it being a puff piece for the Syria regime.
@@mychannel5019 Lol, he never once goes into who HTS are in any real detail. Tell us about Jolani being baghdadi's right hand man, the formation of Nusra Front etc etc, naaaah 'Assad bad' :( :( :(. So so sad I heard they found Tupac on floor 56 of Sednaya. If you think Assad is bad then what replaced him is many times worse.
@@Notorious46aren't HTS basically Al-Qaida?
@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.
Bald and Rami have literally brought us an important part of history, award winning stuff this. Well it should be
Yeah the fact checking has been bulletproof
The horrors that have gone down there have to be unimaginable
Love the way this channel is going. Keep it up!
yes right down the tubes.
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
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.
Hi Bald!
I highly recommend your book to anyone who is interested in having a TH-cam channel. Travel focused or other🎉I thought it was full of insight and so much useful information. Thankyou for being transparent and supportive of those who lack or have no confidence as you once did. And I enjoyed your many humorous moments.
For me? I will just start with the first video on what I feel passionately about. I know you'd agree!
Best wishes to you!
It's nice to see you doing some actual journalism mate. Love it.
*The looting must have been insane*
Free Aks FOR EVERYONE
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
Actually it was the prison guards who discarded records and took whatever they could
It doesn't get more fresh reporting than this, cheer Bald. Insane story.
I am in tears. I feel for the people. The former prisoner going back to treat his trauma what a absolute hero. Tonhave the strength to go back is truely bravery. As someone from the uk i can not imagine the horrors of war just what we see on the news (i dont watch msm) and to see on youtube and tiktok (where the truth is told) as a pagan i wish the gods and their gods to protect these people 🙏
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'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.
Thank you for making this video
Thank you Bald for showing us the horrible conditions of the prisons. I learned more from your video than any news footage I saw on the news.
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
Why didn'n you ask one of the main questions: what will happen to real criminals, who gain freedom? How many of them now, and who are those people, who illiberated them
Of course they are liberated as well and got a 2nd chance.
@@pauls_guitartripwhy the hell would a real criminal get a second chance? Murderers? Really??
Thank you, I came here to see if anyone else thought this. It’s insane how much I had to scroll to find your comment
@busthebest @catarinaostafi9726 As a syrian myself, I will try answering your question here . During the regime time , the real criminals who commit crimes, actually did not get arrested, as they would be hired by the government to kill people ( The regime army included not only army, but also civilian criminals) . The detainess that were freed from those prisons, are political detainess ( people who just wanted freedom for syria, or any other normal reason). Rememebr, a government who does this horrible thing to its people, Likes the criminals, and. does not impression them.
I am open for discussion if you feel you still need more information.
Rami has a heart of gold
Benjamin, this is by far your best work. I had no idea about some of the things I saw. Truly heart wrenching. Thank you for all you do to show us real life, as sad as it is for some. P.S. you shouldn't have tried to push that woman into the hole dude :).
Honestly this is what most prisons in south America look like!
It's really not as bad as they say, look how big the windows are too in front of the cells lol. Barely a dungeon, it's just a standard ass 3rd world country prison.
Rami's car is an old Proton Persona imported from Malaysia. Quite a good car.
I have a Proton Saga... it's a Hot Wheels car. Lol.
It needs a power door lock actuator. That’s the sound you are hearing when placed in park.
Hopefully The Christians won't get persecuted under new Syrian rule. I spoke to some of them and they are very scared. People have already threathened Churches and burned Christmas trees the last few days....... 😡
Not true
naw man, look at the new footages..😊
KURDS???
@@houyou3262 based on?
@@MrReymoclif714 ?
Would love to see you picking through Putin’s palace one day, talking about the vile things he did to his opponents…. like you should be doing now.
Some of the discarded stuff looks like it's been there for years.
Syria had an independent banking system , no Rothschild central bank . The last countries to attempt this was Germany in the 1930s ,Iran , Libya , Cuba, North Korea and look what happened to them
My thoughts too. I'm wondering whether what we're told is atrocity propaganda
@@ScorchedEarth-cd5clof course its all propaganda. Another secular independent state destroyed. Only took 13 years
Independent? Maybe. At the same time it was disfunctional.
it is concerning how the books and papers are left flying around, these are important for parents to track what happened to their loved ones
the cell phones left in the prison cells too can have important info, maybe photos.
Bald I have been following you forever and I can tell you really hit jackpot when u visited all these places in Syria and saw it firsthand and became part of history forever in those videos 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻😊
Thank you, Mr Bald. You do serious documentaries!
Its' just like 2-4 weeks ago? This place looks like a very old forgotten dungeon already.. Crazy
Yeah. Because it probably hasn't been used since it was a CIA blacksite.
got scavenged I suppose
Like any inhumane prisons, this one was not taken care of.
Looks to me like this place was abandoned years ago 🤔
Amazing video , well done to you for highlighting and documenting these ground breaking times. Fantastic .
Good luck to the new Syria 🎉
Cutting edge Y.T content again Ben - thank you.
Not seen the whole video yet, but gotta say, you make it sound like all of the prisoner where saints, and that torture where constant at all time, idk much about Syrian prison, but my perception is that this might be a propaganda piece of some sort
Reminds me CNN report about Syrian prison....I'm watching and waiting for Mr Bald to find "lost" prisoner. 😂
These people don't have any shame. they are literally whitewashing ISIS.
those print outs at 15:35 look fresh...maybe a few scuffed or crinkled to make them look old
This is not funny
at least show empathy to those who lose their loved ones and many were still missing..this topic is not a matter of joke
"Is that the old flag or the new flag?"
I think that sums up the situation rather well.
Bald. Your idea for this cover for your Mi6 job is brilliant you have been in every major conflict days before or after they happen. Coincidence I think not
We cannot comprehend the terror and suffering that people here must have gone through. You bring sights unseen to most of us with full information and input from locals who understand. I was upset though by how you threw down the photograph of the young woman. That action seemed to be further discarding of her as we would not know if she ever got to be free.
next video , Guantanamo Bay detention camp
Nah, it's his sponsors' facility. He won't go.
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.
Such a strong documentary. The world needs to see this to understand.
BROTHER the pants sniffing full sent me, ngl. The juxtaposition with the affair being depicted in the video just made it funnier for me. Not even the fact that you kept it in the video, just the fact that your brain chemicals led you to do that, its hilarious.
Comedy genius from the Brit.
yep it was surreal i watch so much shit daily but that was out of this world
Basically the old regime was replaced with a new regime. Nothing's gonna change much there, we all know that, unfortunately...
Political prisoners have already been released
The regime with 100s of thousands murdered is replaced by a guy sharing power with religious minorities and appointing women to top roles - not exactly OBL.
Was this paid by CNN?
Good luck Rami. Here's hoping for a peaceful new beginning for your country.
How is it that you get into Syria to report these things and the legacy media has not?
He's an agent.
It’s obvious! They’ve recruited a popular TH-camr for propagandist work
@@bruceybrew you can't be serious
What are you talking about? I literally saw "legacy media" news reports, boots on the ground, a day or two after Assad's fall. In the Sednaya prison too.
Maby you dont watch media? Literally every one was in those places
balds revenge for being kicked out of Russia ,working for MI6....
Videoing after Russia and Assad got chased out of Syria by some rebels😂
He's always worked M16
Bro was there on a Regime guided tour the first time...make it make sense...but you know better ay.
Yeah, he had a FAFO moment in Russia, just like his buddy, Sabbatical. Both western establishment propagandists, unfortunately.
I could see right through this as well MI-6 payroll for Mr no hair
Excellent material Mr Bald love it
Thank you ! I trust your great work has cured the bankrupt half of you.
It's very strange to see that prison in which some parts seems were abandoned months or even years ago...
In my country, prisons are usually very ill maintained and overcrowded. If you remove the prisoners, they won't look much better than those prisons presented in the video. It is also worth noting that those places were certainly looted and that there was probably an attempt to erase evidence by burning documents in some cases (I already saw a video from some news outlet that covered that attempt of destroying information in several places).
That’s how all of syria looks
This is a propaganda video as usual
Documents must be kept not scattered, those papers are proof of innocent people that were murdered or tortured 😢
someone should go there with a couple of flatbed scanners with OCR and put them in a database so people can do a lookup on keywords, names etc.
@tnmrvc right ✅️
So the bad guys are now the good guys?
Oh gosh, how confusing for our Holywood polarised brains
Give it 2-10 years and we will probably call them terrorists again. The western 3 letter agencies are quite fickle when it comes to whom to support at any given moment. Yesterday ISIS, today rebels. Can't make this sheet up.
It is not a Marvel movie, there is no "good guys" or "bad guys".
@majortom9397 Don't be naive, that's how propoganda works ffs
@@saraprva4172 depends which perspective, and who's seeking the truth
Sabbatica, Tommy just spent 15 days in the same prison in Russia as you did and has been banned from return😢😮
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.
Syria happened
