Syrians hold funeral for jailed activist found dead after Assad's ouster
Mourners took part in the funeral procession for Syrian activist Mazen al-Hamada in Damascus on Thursday. Hamada, whose body was found by his family in a military hospital this week, was a well-known activist during the Syrian revolution who was repeatedly arrested and tortured. He had escaped to Europe but returned to Syria in 2020 and was again detained upon arrival.
