Far' Falastin (Arabic: فرع فلسطين) is a notorious Syrian prison located near Damascus.
The United States used a process called extraordinary rendition to transport a number of terrorist suspects to Far' Falastin where they were subjected to interrogation that included torture. In addition, the participation of German officials in interrogations in Far' Falastin has been confirmed. It is not known whether these officials were present or participating in cases where torture was applied to prisoners.[citation needed]
