the low and terry martin, thanks for joining us. the russian government has granted political asylum to ousted syrian liter bosher, all a sudden he fled the country after his regime collapsed in a lightning revel offensive that began less than 2 weeks ago. besides, paul has been a cause for why briggs widespread celebration across the country and among the syrians they asked for after almost 25 years under his rule, syrians are beginning to turn their attention towards what rebel leaders say as a new euro for their homeland busha a subs exit from syria came quickly in the in, looters picked through his boss to tell us just hours of that he flayed to russia with his family, of begging the remains of his regime. and celebration fresh quote for their country comes the use of injustice insults,

public water and electricity cuts. they thank god, after 50 years we were able to remove assaults, families, god willing, syria is moving towards democracy and the rebel forces who toppled aside. have received a heroes welcome and pots of damascus. civilians have joined with soldiers in wide spread celebrations the fall. i haven't slept at all since yesterday. i came early in the morning to see the people in express joy on behalf of all the mothers of the missing prisoners and matches. my brother was mine, such as all my friends and neighbors on us because the, the rebels have moved quickly to free thousands of people locked inside asides, notoriously brutal jails. newly released prisoners, asked bystanders in damascus wanted happened. still unaware of the regimes in

mid celebrations or the assad full plenty of questions remain about what comes next for syria. rebel leda and format. i'll tell you to a member of the mohamad. galani is likely to play a key role. his rebel brute h t s, was instrumental in over throwing asides regime on sunday. the leader addressed cheering crowds at domestic asses, historical my, you'd mosque this victory. my brothers is a new history for the entire islamic nation. this victory, my brothers, is a new history for the region. the prime minister mohammed ghazi loudly has said he will assist with the peaceful transition of palate to a government chosen by the people. but who we have a lead 3 is next chapter faces and the norm as a task and unifying the country for now many remain cautiously

optimistic about the country's future. earlier i spoke about this with omar of sugary. he's a human rights advocate and director for detaining affairs at the syrian emergency task force. he himself was held for 3 years in the syrian prison. i asked him how he felt when he learned that the assad routine had been toppled. or i've been waiting for that moment for 14 years, uh, 14 years of, of displacement of tortured off killing. and then i see it early, early in the morning and the people are out on the street the side regime as the fall. and i could screen very, very, very, very loud for that. but i tried because it's that it deserves the, the tears of joy, this regime as has given my father and my brothers and bond nice school and burned my town and tortured me for 3 years. so the joy is unmatchable. we can see it in

your smile of many political detainees are now being released from serious notorious prisons. you know, these prisons all too well, give us a sense of the scope of this prison system. how many detainees there might be, and what a subs else thing will mean for them and their families to documented detainees in syria before the fall of the regime used to be around 139000. as a documented, i believe it's over 200000 people who've been in this south, tortured on a daily basis. just to give you a simple example that tells you how brutal those presence is. the god could come at any moment to yourself and tell you and your celebrates, hey, i want you to choose one of you to be executed tomorrow and the guard lease. and then you have to situate you've cellmates and see hey, who is willing to die tomorrow. under torture. so the rest as in dog, and then we have to make

a lottery to choose someone and for us to be killed. tomorrow. you can imagine it's not easy. if it's too cold outside the guard would come in to warm up his body by torching us. if his wife doesn't go come food the last night to come and pill us. because the gods have had the immunity, they know they could kill so many without being questioned to why, what's, why did you kill that person? this regime has, has killed syrians for, for over 50 years. it's not new and the world knew about it. however, as we mentioned the world, the world have seen us struggle and left us alone. we fought alone. we. we were in pain and we were tortured alone, and we dreamed alone, we helped alone, and today we went alone and action. and so he was disappointment to see that 100 democracies in the world did nothing to liberate over a $139000.00 foot to prisoners. while we wait until a few rubble groups come and fight and liberate those presents,

i'm very grateful for them forever. i will always be grateful for them and respect them for that move while the world had disappointed the strongest nations in the world, but nothing to save the lives of so many. you mentioned some of the horrible, horrible abuses that have taken place in syria with political prisoners and others . how can syria go about addressing questions of justice and accountability in connection with those horrible abuses? now the 1st step towards just as has been bringing down the side regime and that's check we got. so next step is to making sure that the people who were killed and tortured the once was a provides their lives for us to have freedom. we need to have that freedom. we need to have that democracy that we're dream job. that's. so that's very important for so young people to remember that we have to be engaged on a daily basis into politics, to make sure we build the process, allow us to end up having an election, having a democracy, and choose the people that we believe can represent us and care about us. so that's

how we achieve part of the justice. then there is, then that's the set the off of actually bringing the criminals, including a sub in his family and the top of dental vision services to prosecutions prostituted them for the crimes they committed in celia, you cannot prosecute everyone who committed a crime because the number is too huge because the regime had implicated so many people in these wires, but we would have to end up prosecuting the, the top leaders i think. and then we would have to reconcile with our pain with our own suffering. and i can give you a very beautiful example. actually, my sister has been hiding on the coast where i am from for 10 years, it went up a lot to talk to her on the phone because it never, she knows we're talking to her. they may kill her, and she is. and danielle spun. yes. is this, and this is surrounded by a lot of follow wide cities and villages. and they were so bred in yesterday when the regime fall on the street. my, my, my sister and our town and all the lights came with their elder. and they took the

nights and apologized for all the pain. they cost people for being part of the games. games for, for, for being forced, mostly to be part of their machines game. and the end of the celebration ended in the lights villages so that i could not imagine happening so quickly. so people being willing maybe not to forgive, but to move on to say ok, i may not love you. i may not forgive you, but i would like to live in peace and defend my school to get my, my kids to school without worrying. and just i want, as the time of i sat to be to be over and to start a new life. so i'm very helpful for so yeah, i'm very hopeful that you will be able because we were seeing that don't fall in a week to 14 use. those 14 use taught us. we have to love each other to care. we have to, to be inclusive to care about also is god less whether they are muslims, christians, whether they are crowds or doors, or uh, or, or sunday, or she,

after all the lives of whoever they are. everybody deserves their respect. unless they have committed crimes, they need to be boxed beautiful. more. thank you very much for talking with us today. that was human rights advocate. omar o show. great. let's take a look at a couple of other stories now starting with a related development is really forces have moved into the militarized buffer zone with syria along the is really controlled, go on heights. israel says it's a temporary but necessary measure because a 50 year old truce ended when else on soldiers left. their post is really an ext, the strategic territory for a decades ago. but most countries regard it as part of syria. taiwan says that his put his military on high alert after detecting dozens of chinese warships and coast guard vessels and waters around the on aging. also restricted nearby aerospace trying their claims democratic taiwan is its own territory and has

not ruled out the use of force to bring it under its control. germany's opposition leader fleet like mounts has arrived in key 4 talks. mounts stands, a good chance of becoming germany's new leader after staff elections in february. he's now set to meet with ukraine's president allowed him is the landscape. the head of germany's christian democratic block is expected to promise his support for the country and its efforts to repel russia's invasion. this is what sleep like mounts at a set of eyes is the same for the name of my trip is to learn more about the current state of this country's defenses. i'm very much looking forward to meeting present. and so lensky again, been over the course of a day, and i simply want to find out about the situation in ukraine. and what we can do to help this beleaguered country continue to defend itself against russian aggression with logic. now to south korea and the justice ministry there says

a travel band has been imposed on president unit. so your, he's under investigation after declaring martial law last week, which was quickly reversed. you in survives and impeachment, vote in parliament on saturday. but the opposition says, we'll submit a new impeachment motion against him this week. protests those in south korea losing patience with the president. they want him to resign. peace, a vibe, and between bid and good faith another. so for now, he remains in power but not for a statement from his own willing body. it is not clear what follows. he has the president himself, jo also promised to follow the people's demand and leave plans to stay below. stay to fast, including his time to the potter criminal, to sewing until we took him. therefore,

i believe that will be no confusion in the process of the orderly, early retreat. the trading tongue until the president steps down the prime minister will close the consult with the policy to ensure that the people's livelihood and state if as a man adult without disruptions the question on the streets of soul. people are unhappy with the governing parties. compromise solution of withdrawing the president from his duties without a farmer in between the process. done to because i support the change of administration through immediate impeachment rather than early an orderly departure . ok, so because when someone come into a crime, that person must be punished and it's a cabinet um and the only punishment is what is the change of power. you

tend to get it over to the opposition party. keeps saying. impeachment and i just one that what the future in ration would say about this is all he does mind the meta on the sides, korean citizens, or if you just terrible, i feel call when you're getting we'll use brief attempt to impose miller people on south korea has damaged the country's reputation as a democracy, both at home and abroad. well then, i'm going to do. and it has already ended the carrier as well. some of his colleagues from a defense minister came young to him, was arrested by the prosecutor's special investigative team. for his alleged role in imposing martial law and the indian minister has resigned to south korea's leadership pines in limbo. the opposition party is calling for a new impeachment for in the week ahead. you're watching dw nose from berlin up next is business with
