STF NA MÍDIA

human rights activist from
Syria and head of the Damascus
Centre for human
rights.
In one notorious case, the
mutilated body of Hamza al-
Khateeb, 13, was returned to
his parents in May after he
had been arrested by security
forces. His neck had been
broken and his penis cut off.
"Children have been living
the deaths and arrests of their
family members and even
friends," said Razan Zeitouneh,
a human rights lawyer
in Damascus. "It has stolen
their innocence and childhood."
Nour Ali is the pseudonym
for a journalist based in Damascus
