At the time of their arrest, Ms Abassi’s children – Dima, Entisar, Najah, Alaa, Ahmed and Layan – were 14, 13, 11, eight, six and two respectively.<\/p>\n

“They took Rania with her kids and since that day we don’t know anything about them,” Naila said. <\/p>\n

The family have only received one piece of information about their detainment, which came shortly after the arrest. They believe the family was held at a prison in Damascus, known as the Palestine branch, which was operated by Syrian intelligence. <\/p>\n

A female inmate who was released told the family in 2013 that she heard the voices of children in the prison, two weeks after the arrest. <\/p>\n

Now that prisoners have been released, family members on the ground have visited the prisons to try to find them. <\/p>\n

“We are watching the news and seeing people released from the prisons and looking at the videos to see if we can see them,” Naila said.<\/p>\n

“But the prisons have been opened and we haven’t seen Rania yet. It is unbearable.”<\/p>\n

“We were waiting for this day for 13 years,” she added. “But our wounds are still fresh now as if it happened yesterday.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
