Families of missing Syrians are expressing a mix of hope and despair as they await news of their loved ones, who have been missing for nearly 12 years due to military detentions. Hiba Abdulhakim Qasawaad, from Homs, shares her emotional struggle as she and others search through footage for signs of their relatives after the notorious Saydnaya Prison was emptied. With the end of Bashar al-Assad’s rule proclaimed by rebel forces, the families face renewed anguish, caught between the hope of freedom and the fear of never knowing the fate of those detained.
