Jacques Beres, one of the founders of the French aid society Doctors Without Borders, says he believes the accounts of torture in Syrian hospitals are “possibly, almost certainly” true. Beres smuggled himself into the besieged district of Bab Amr in Homs to assist with makeshift medical clinics there. In an interview with Al Jazeera’s Jacky Rowland about his recent trip, he says Bab Amr’s crisis resembles the devastation he witnessed in Grozny, a city torn apart after Russian invasion in the 1990s.
