Hakkında
Hızlı bilgiler: The museum occupies what was once the basement prison of the brutal Derg regime, where torture and interrogations took place during the Red Terror that killed an estimated 500,000 to 1.5 million people between 1976 and 1978. Exhibits include blood-stained clothing, bone fragments, and the actual instruments used in executions, preserved exactly as they were found when the regime fell in 1991.
Öne çıkanlar: Step into the dimly lit basement cells and you'll see walls still stained with the handprints of prisoners desperately reaching out in the dark. One room contains a guillotine-like "meat grinder" machine that guards used to dismember bodies, with the original bloodstains still visible on the concrete floor.
