Syrian Torture Chambers: Graphic Depiction of Syrian Torture Technique Known as “Dulab”

Former detainees and defectors have identified the locations, agencies responsible, torture methods used, and, in many cases, the commanders in charge of 27 detention facilities run by Syrian intelligence agencies.

Detainees described being folded at the waist and having their head, neck, and legs put into a car tire so that they were immobilized and could not protect themselves from beatings on the back, legs, and head including by batons and whips.  Some detainees described having their arms inside the tire as well.
