He had been declared missing for years, the Syrian reaction to learning that his brother is alive

A Syrian woman experienced a mixture of intense emotions, from deep amazement to hope and sadness, when she learned that her brother, who was believed to have died years earlier, was still alive. Faithful sources confirmed that he is in the notorious Sednaya prison, an institution known for inhuman and [...] treatment.
Its history is one of many similar accounts reflecting the terrible consequences of civil war in Syria. Her brother had suddenly disappeared, and for years his family had lived with the conviction that he had lost his life, like many others in the riots that had swept the country. Little information and lack of transparency by the authorities made it impossible for them to learn true destiny.
The discovery came through a secret source who informed the woman of the existence of a list of inmates in Sednaya. Through this list, she learned that her brother was still alive. His name was found among the thousands of prisoners still held in horrible conditions in this prison. This institution has become a symbol of state violence and depression, where thousands of people have disappeared or lost their lives without trial.
