After searching for 12 years, a refugee family confirmed their son is alive in a Damascus jail.
A family came to the Duhok refugee camp in Iraqi Kurdistan at the start of the Syrian civil war 12 years ago. The father works as a car mechanic, and his wife is a tailor. Although they survived the war, their son was missing.
The family never lost hope and never stopped searching for him.
After the fall of Bashar al-Assad, the rebel group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham announced the names of detainees in a Damascus jail. Their son’s name was on the list.
