Former Syrian detainee describes ‘extreme joy’ at seeing prisoners set free

During Bashar al-Assad's rule, tens of thousands of people who opposed the government were imprisoned and some forcibly disappeared. At the notorious Sednaya prison in Damascus, many were taken to underground cells known as the Red Wing. Omar Alshogre, director of detainee affairs at the Syrian Emergency Task Force, was arrested for attending an anti-government protest in Syria at the age of 15. He says he experienced brutality trying to survive in prison, for three years.
