Up to 13,000 hanged at secret Syrian jail

The human rights group, Amnesty International, says it's found evidence that thousands of civilians have been systematically tortured and executed at a Syrian Government prison. It says that no trials were held, and some prisoners were condemned to death in hearings lasting just one or two minutes. The Syrian government has always denied torturing its political opponents. Alex Ritson reports.
