Alma, paralyzed heroine never regrets holding arms against regime


Silva Koria, a journalist, told Alma’s story, a-45-year old lady who is paralyzed and has been bedridden for 4 months in a hospital in Amman.

The journalist tried to deliver Alma’s message and voice, Alma, who demonstrated peacefully in the beginning of Syrian revolution, and then she worked in relief. When she was arrested she experienced brutal torture. She helped in getting children caught under rubble and helps many others.

The most important message Koria got from Alma Shahhood was that she never regrets fighting against the regime as she summarized her attitude with: “who does not understand words, must be talk to in a different way”

 Alma expects the situation in Syria to take long to get resolved, the journalist wrote on her face-book page.

Alma still believes and supports holding arms against regime, but she feels that people have change, where incompetent people started to hold arms and decide whatever they want as a result of lacking unified military command, the journalist added.

Alma repeatedly expressed that she never regrets anything she did, and she does not afraid of anything, the journalist said and expressed her feeling of shame when she cried in front of that heroine of slim helpless body.

 Asking about her kids, was the only thing to show Alma’s weakness when she said with tears in her eyes: “I have five children, they are in Damascus, I miss them so much”

 The story of Alma, the heroine, the mother and real human, and the fate her children who would live, grow up, cry, laugh, and play away from their mother is very touching and painful, and they who deserve life and freedom, Koria expressed.
