He has come out an old man': joy and grief as loved ones released from Assad prisons
Briefly

The last information Ali received about his brother was that he was being held in a military security branch in Damascus on charges of political agitation.
Until Thursday night, when Ali's phone started to buzz. Friends, relatives and family members began sending him the same picture: a bedraggled man in his late 50s.
The feeling it’s indescribable. Imagine that I haven’t seen him for 39 years and then all of a sudden his picture is sent to you, how would you feel?
His brother, who entered prison as an 18-year-old, was now 57. He has come out of prison as an old man.
