Part 3/7:
Yet, the path to freedom is not devoid of painful memories and suffering. Muhammad Vatar, a 45-year-old man who bears the scars of torture by Assad's forces, shares harrowing memories of his imprisonment, where he lost teeth and part of his tongue. His story is a haunting reminder of the brutality faced by many Syrians branded as "terrorists" by the regime. In stark contrast to the celebrations surrounding his release, such stories of horror serve as a somber backdrop to the revelry, revealing the deep scars left by years of conflict.
