Maybe the most difficult podcast I have listened to. Stories of such sadness and suffering told frankly and never self serving or looking to be seen as heroes. But they surely are. I hope this helps the work to do something to get detainees released and ideally the end of the Assad regime.
Riyad and Diab let me know if you would like a holiday in Australia. You can stay at my place!

I try to avoid these stuff, heart wrenching. Not ignoring that these are happening in our world, but knowing that I can't do anything about it but still feeling the pain, that I try to avoid. I listened first episode, part by part. I'll try to go on and continue when I feel up enough.
The podcasters does a great job and Turkish guy who laughs make it palatable though.
