The
tragedy as following; ''Your son has been arrested and tortured until death, and
then they asked you in cold blood to take his body from the hospital. Oh how
lucky am I? at least I know where I can bury him. The broken-hearted mother
said about Hussam Khayat, 23-year-old
architecture student said.
She
couldn't recognize his body because it was incised by knifes and burned by
cigarettes ash with no nails. She couldn't recognize his face because his teeth
and skin were extracted. He was martyred after 13 days of arrest
and torture in the chambers of the Syrian Intelligence.
The
Assad regime said that he died in clashes between its forces and the rebels.
His mother as all parents should sign a paper saying that her son was killed by
the 'Terrorists'.
Khayat's
deadly torture story started by refusing to be blackmailed by some blockades,
when he refused to give them money they took his Identity card, few days later
he received phone call from State Security, Al-Moukhabrat (Branch no 215) asking him to come immediately according
to relevant sources.
The
worried Mother insisted to go with him. She went but wasn't allowed to enter,
the check point at the scary entrance said, ''It's a matter of minutes, no
more'', but the waiting took hours, Hussam hadn't come yet, the armed security
man told her to go home, '' When he will be out we will call you'' it takes 13-long-day to receive phone call from the
Military hospital saying '' Your son is died, you can come to pick up the body''.
All
the sudden were few days after when Hussam's mother heard the news from the
regime TV Station, "Our valiant forces have killed number of terrorists in
the neighborhood of Jobar, one of them is Hussam Khayat ".
Asma
Alabed, Hussam's friend, wrote about him in her Blog, "With the stresses
of unfortunate conditions that have caused me to leave the University of
Toronto and transfer, along the way I have forgotten how blessed I am to be
safe and surrounded by loved ones.
'' I am
disgusted by the brutality the Assad regime has inflicted on its people,
disgusted by those who still speak in support of the regime, and disgusted to
live in an era that would cause sorrow to Taunt Loubna’s family and people like
Taunt Loubna who singlehandedly represent the kind of person I hope to be one
day.''
Bewildered
by those who can still stand by this embarrassing excuse of a government and
this obvious violation of human rights?'
