(Zaman Al Wasl)- As the Syrian regime arrests hundreds of young men in the Eastern and southern suburbs of Damascus despite reconciliation deal reached in April, another dirty game the intelligence has been working on related to the values of the conservative society in Ghouta district.
Arresting, torturing and raping women of Ghouta in the aim of humiliating them and their families, activists told Zaman al-Wasl.
Osama al-Omari, Ghouta-based activist, confirmed that members of the Fourth Armored Division, led by Bashar al-Assad’s brother Maher, had arrested four women from the city of Arbin town in October.
As usual, women were taken to an unknown destination, where they remained in detention until this month. They were released without being able to confirm what they were subjected to during the period of detention, because it is like a red line for the residents to talk about so they think they should be completely silent about it. According to their perspective, the ugliness of the crime has to be less common among people.
This silence could not resist the terrible pain of one of the women who had nervous breakdown due to bad memories and what she suffered in the regime’s detention, which prompted her relatives to offer a consultation with a psychologist, but they realized that the treatment sessions on the details are terrifying.
Zaman al-Wasl was able to communicate with the doctor who supervised the treatment of the victim.
The doctor confirmed that this breakdown resulted from the continuous psychological trauma caused by the "multiple rape" as well as the severe beatings and threatening to kill her entire people in case it dared to disclose anything concerning the circumstances of her detention.
The horror of the victim’s words tells only part of the whole scene.
The regime is fully aware of his power that no one can enter unless it harms itself and its people, in addition to the high sensitivity of the issue, which required silence on the violations as in the case of the four women, and if one of them had not reached the nervous breakdown, her story would have been walled, and her killer "secret" would have accompanied her to her final resting place.
This is a part of the regime and its executioner’s confidence when they committed sexual crimes against women.
The regime continues to press the "stigma" severely, by arresting women, fabricating the charges against them and not distinguishing between whether they remain in their areas and who have returned with some returnees from the north.
