Syria civil war: Bewildered, elated prisoners pour out as President Assad's jails flung open
Bashar al-Assad's government.
All across Syria, families wept as they were reunited with children, siblings, spouses and parents who vanished years ago into the impregnable gulag of the Assad dynasty's five-decade reign.
Newly freed prisoners ran through the Damascus streets holding up the fingers of both hands to show how many years they had been in prison, asking passers-by what had happened, not immediately understanding that Assad had fallen.
«We toppled the regime!» a voice shouted and a prisoner yelled and skipped with delight in one video. A man watching the prisoners rush through the dawn streets put his hands to head, exclaiming with wonder: «Oh my god, the prisoners!»
Throughout the civil war that began in 2011, security forces have held hundreds of thousands of people seized into detention camps where international human rights organisations say torture was universal practice. Families were often told nothing of their loved-ones' fate.
