"Many women are arbitrarily detained"

Fled to Turkiye 3 years ago, Atlas narrated to ILKHA's correspondent what her children and she went through. "I was arrested with my third children in Syria. I suffered severe torture and insults in the dungeon."

"The brutal war has no mercy on anyone from the Syrian people"

Atlas stated that people are still being arrested in Syria and that this brutal war has no mercy on anyone from the Syrian people. "We ask all governments and humanity to have mercy on us. We urge the international community to force on Syrian authorities to release of all prisoners."
