Syrian President Bashar al Assad has dismissed as "fake news" reports of mass executions at one of the country's prisons.
Earlier this week, Amnesty International claimed up to 13 thousand people were summarily executed at the Saydnaya prison between 2011 and 2015.
In an interview with reporter Michael Isikoff of Yahoo News, President Assad dismissed the claim.
