DeirEzzor24 exclusive report:
In the midst of the events in Syria in general and Deir Ezzor province in particular, which are accompanied by Bashar al-Assad’s issuance of the general amnesty decree, hundreds or even thousands of families are waiting for the return of their forcibly disappeared children in the Assad regime’s prisons for years.
Social media is full of pictures and names of detainees, and their families are looking for them by asking the released, while many others are waiting at the prison gates, searching among the faces for what remains of the features of bodies destroyed by the years of prison, as the buses carrying these bodies pass, to throw them in the squares of Damascus, as the hearts of those who are waiting stop, while hope mixes with threads of despair, waiting for a miracle.
The amnesty that was issued included the release of all those accused of terrorist acts that did not include murder, in what is believed to have been issued in conjunction with the spread of the video of the solidarity massacre in which 14 victims were burned, in an attempt to absorb anger and shift public opinion in favor of the Assad regime.
