Travis Timmerman, a 29-year-old US citizen, was imprisoned in Syria during a Christian pilgrimage but has since been released and flown to Jordan to meet US officials.
Despite the notorious conditions reported in Syrian prisons, Timmerman stated he was not treated poorly during his captivity in the Palestine Branch facility.
Prior to Timmerman's release, the Syrian government faced major setbacks as opposition forces captured key territories, culminating in President al-Assad fleeing to Russia.
Human Rights Watch has documented severe human rights violations within Syrian detention systems, highlighting widespread torture and suffering among long-term detainees.
