Description
Relatives give an emotional welcome to Suheil Hamawi as he returned home in northern Lebanon after languishing for more than three decades in former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's jails. "My brother is more than a hero. He endured life in prison, and today, he has returned to embrace the freedom he longed for 33 years ago," says his twin brother, Nicolas.
A day earlier, Islamist-led rebels took over the Syrian capital, sending Assad fleeing and releasing thousands of prisoners from Assad's notorious jail system. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
