“We’re celebrating with the Syrian people as we free our prisoners, ending their suffering and marking the end of the brutal regime at Sednaya prison,”

they said. Sednaya is a notorious military prison near Damascus where thousands were held by the government.

These fast-moving events have sent shockwaves through the region. Lebanon has shut down all its land borders with Syria except for one that connects Beirut and Damascus, and Jordan has also closed a crossing with Syria.

On Saturday night, eight major countries met with the UN special envoy on Syria at the Doha Summit for two hours of talks, and more discussions are expected. The UN envoy is pushing for urgent talks in Geneva to ensure a smooth political transition and to prevent Syria Civil War to get more intense.
