Briefly

Abu Jaber, a former detainee turned guard at Branch 235, describes the extensive torture practices, performing a grim reminder of the facility’s brutal legacy, "Inside the branch, the cells tell the tale of the people who went through it." He talks about harrowing experiences and physical abuse that left deep psychological scars on many who passed through those gates, questioning not just the actions of the guards but the motivations behind such cruelty practiced in the name of regime control.
Witnesses and former detainees recount the inhumane conditions, noting how the basement still harbors memories of pain, "It is difficult to move around the basement now, because the sewage system malfunctioned, filling some corridors and cells with stagnant water." The description highlights the neglect and horror that characterize the prison, evoking the human rights violations that occurred within its walls.
