Crimes against civilians in the liberated town of Gire Spi, also known by its Arabic name Tal Abyad, have come to light now that the Islamic State, or ISIS, has been driven from the town earlier this month by Kurdish forces

In one instance, a cement factory was transformed into a prison where locals suffered severe tortured.

As the city rebuilds, several former ISIS prisons are being used to house much-needed humanitarian aid.
