Original Note:
Ms. Ward's post is missing context: "Salama Mohammed Salama" is no ordinary person as she may portray. He was an intelligence officer of the Assad regime, who operated checkpoints in Homs notorious for "theft, extortion and coercing residents into becoming informants". https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/cnn-confirms-identity-freed-syrian-prisoner-assad-intelligence-officer
