(Zaman Al Wasl)- Aida al-Haj Yousif, a former detainee by the Syrian regime, tells new torture memo about Syrian journalist arrested in 2014 over her covering in Damascus suburbs and since then no reports confirm her release.
General amnesty or a reconciliation deal is an irreplaceable opportunity for any female detainee held by the Syrian security where she might escape from the brutality of her jailers and the mental and physical torture.
But the director of Adra (Damascus) Central Prison rejected a list sent by the reconciliation committee because it had included the name of Najwa (Pseudonym), the journalist and activist.
"Najwa will not go out of prison alive, even if I have to push her out of the roof and bury her in the prison garden," Colonel Adnan Suleiman said once.
The Air Force Intelligence in Damascus 2014 arrested Najwa, 26, over her collaboration with media outlets where she left her husband and little baby girl to be deposed in solitary cell.
Najwa was transferred to Adra Prison after weeks of savage torture.
The judge of Anti-Terrorism Court charged Najwa with financing terrorism without clear sentence.
As a kind of moral torture, the warden of the prison used to impose a ‘tour’ on opposition detainees through the dorms of murder, theft and prostitution. Njawa spent a week in each wing.
Despite the daily suffering, Najwa had never complied with regime brutality and injustice.
She kept her journalism passion by reporting the prison's abuses and violations in small paper rolls hidden in her baby’s handmade toy.
The prison administration was horribly mad. They searched the prison. They confiscated all the books, notebooks and pens. They threatened to take the heaviest punishments against any detainee hides pen or mobile.
Later on, Najwa, who used to spend most of prison hours in reading fiction books, had spent three months in a solitary cell.
So far, no reports confirm her release of fate.
