The Assad legacy in Syria is one of horror with hundreds of thousands dead and millions displaced or in exile. PBS News special correspondent Leila Molana-Allen spoke to one former prisoner, Omar Alshogre about his experiences at Sednaya prison. Alshogre, who is now with the Syrian Emergency Task Force, was first arrested at the age of 15 while attending a protest at the onset of the Syrian civil war, before being released then arrested again and sent to Sednaya, a notorious military prison outside Damascus.
