Here’s the extraordinary moment a Syrian prisoner locked in secret cell is freed, unaware of Assad’s ouster: ‘Are you serious?’
Extraordinary video shows the moment a CNN reporter discovered a prisoner who had been locked in one of the Assad regime’s secret facilities for three months — and was unaware that the dictator’s rule had finally come to an end.
While searching for traces of missing US journalist Austin Trice at a former Syrian Air Force intelligence headquarters in Damascus, CNN’s Clarissa Ward and her rebel fighter escorts noticed one windowless cell remained locked.
A soldier blows off the lock, and they enter an empty cell with what appeared at first to be just a blanket lying in the corner, footage from the network shows.
“It moved!” Ward exclaims. “Is someone there or is it just a blanket?”
An armed soldier pulls on the blanket, dramatically revealing a haggard man who immediately sits up and holds up his hands in fright.
