8:36 am
to become an eye doctor. and i did some photos of the one nine hundred ninety six four years before he was president. and i remember mainly someone you're shy but sometimes embarrassed about what was happening around him you know. i really hope because i always thought that the regime. needed someone to gorbachev someone who would and the dictatorship opened a new era. this era in people hadn't heard of all seen a first lady at the side of the new president their wedding was held in secret as ma side allegedly then traveled around the country anonymously to get to know it later she said she wanted to become an ambassador for the syrians.

8:38 am
family. to manas father saif is to this day one of the best known regime critics in syria the one successful businessman angered bashar assad's father by speaking out against corruption and oppression but he went to fall for the regime he had crossed the line i thought so i mean it was in one nine hundred ninety six bashar is father was still in power when my brother just appeared without a trace he was twenty one and had gone to the seaside with a friend his friend returned but my brother didn't he was never found but if you live in syria you know what's meant by that few women visit it was a very clear warning to my father from the old regime because he had become politically active he says had. the fear of fear seemed to come to an end when bashar al assad became president.
