Twelve years ago, specifically on November 11th, young Qutaiba Mubarak was destined for an unknown fate when he was arrested at the Quneitra Immigration and Passports Center. This marked the beginning of a nine-month ordeal in Syrian regime prisons, during which he suffered torture and was deprived of his most basic human rights.
On the morning of that fateful day, Mubarak, 32, went to the Immigration and Passports Center in Quneitra to complete some routine paperwork. Little did he know that this visit would be the start of one of the most difficult chapters of his life.
Qutaiba was immediately transferred to the Palestine Branch, one of the most notorious Syrian security branches known for torture and abuses. He spent nine months in solitary confinement, deprived of contact with his family and subjected to the most horrific forms of physical and psychological torture.
Qutaiba's family never stopped trying to secure his release. They went from one security and intelligence branch to another, paying exorbitant sums of money in a desperate attempt to save their son from an unknown fate.
After nine months of suffering, the family finally managed to pay the required ransom, and Qutaiba was released, bearing the scars of torture on his body and psychological wounds that still haunt him to this day.
