Please know that we changed the victim’s name to Amal (Hope) in order to preserve her social and security status.Amal was engaged at the time of the interview. Her fiance insisted on keeping her despite everything happened to her inside the prison, however; he was killed by the Syrian regime’s forces before he was able to leave Syria to meet Amal.
