Prisoners held inside the complex, which was the site of extrajudicial executions, torture and forced disappearances, were freed early last week by the rebels who ousted Syrian strongman Bashar al-Assad on December 8.
The pro-Turkey fighters had already retaken the Kurdish-held Tal Rifaat enclave last week, days after Islamist-led rebels swooped into government-held areas, snatching key cities before reaching Damascus on Sunday.
