A photo circulating on social media does not show Syria 's notorious Saydnaya prison.

The photo in fact shows an exhibit at the War Remnants Museum in Vietnam 's Ho Chi Minh City .

The prison, which operated during ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina 's tenure, was given its name because its detainees were never supposed to see any other person besides themselves.

Amnesty International dubbed the prison a "human slaughterhouse".
