(Zaman Al Wasl)- After Eight years of forced disappearance by the Syrian security, Naser al-Dugaim has returned to his family in Deir Ezzor province.
The 43-year-old man was held in the Sednaya military prison near the capital for eight years where family and relatives believed he is dead like thousands of Syrian detainees since the revolution erupted in March 2011.
Al-Dugaim was heading Lebanon for work to feed his nine-member family.
About 1.2 million Syrian citizens have been arrested and detained at some point in the regime’s detention centers, including 130,000 individuals who are still detained or forcibly disappeared by the Syrian regime, since the revolution erupted in March 2011, according to the Syrian Network for Human Rights.
The Detainees Association of Sednaya Prison released last November testimonies of torture survivors of the notorious detention facility.
According to the report, 100% of the detainees had been tortured physically and 97.8% had been tortured psychologically.
The nine-year-old war has claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands and forced 13 million people from their homes, half of whom have left their shattered homeland.
