Syrian rebel forces have said they plan to close the notoriously harsh prisons run by ousted president Bashar al-Assad.
They also said they plan to hunt those involved in the killing or torture of detainees.
Rebel leader Ahmed al-Sharaa, also known as Abu Mohammed al-Jolani, said he would dissolve the security forces of the former regime, in a statement seen by the Reuters news agency.
Videos showing thousands of prisoners being freed from Saydnaya prison – referred to as a "human slaughterhouse" by rights groups – surfaced after the collapse of the Assad government on Sunday.
Almost 60,000 people were tortured and killed in the prisons run by Assad, UK-based monitoring group Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
