Description
Mehmet Erturk, a Turkish man living in a town bordering Syria, was arrested by the Syrian police 20 years ago for smuggling charges. When the rebels freed the prison he was jailed in Damascus, Erturk finally made it back to his hometown in Turkey. "My family thought I was dead," says the 53-year-old, whose face and manner of walking makes him look 20 years older. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
