Syrians search for missing inmates

Huge crowds are outside Saydnaya prison in Syria's capital Damascus, following allegations some inmates are being detained in underground cells. We speak to our correspondent in Damascus.

We hear from Syrians inside the country and from exiles who now are planning to return home.

We also visit BBC Turkish and BBC Persian services to find out about the reaction in their regions.

And, our Middle East experts answer audience questions about the developments in Syria.
