For years, the dictatorships of Hafez Al Assad, and his son, Bashar, have maintained a brutal and repressive control over my country, Syria. I am one of the many victims of this vile assault on the very life and freedom of the Syrian people.
I am currently in forced exile, having survived the brutality and torture of the Assad dictatorship. I tell my story for those who who are no longer able to tell theirs.
I am Mohammed, and this is my story….

Mohammed, I always read every word. I think writing about what happened can be both painful and at the same time a release. No one can understand the horror except someone who has lived thru it. It breaks my heart to think of a child suffering this way – and then the family, too. I hope the years have softened the pain. Thank you for sharing.
