Summary
A public commenter described a Syrian prison as "notorious" for abuses under the Assad regime and called for accountability and a nationally led truth‑telling and reconciliation process.
A public commenter said the site of a notorious prison complex in Syria must be the focus of accountability and national reconciliation efforts.

Revenge and vengeance are never the answer." The commenter urged a process led within Syria, saying, "Instead, there needs to be a fully nationally owned healing, truth telling, and reconciliation process. Rebuilding a Syria that works for all its people, equal in dignity and without discrimination, will be key to its success and stability."
