A story of a child prisoner

 Syrian activist and lawyer Michel Shames:
A story of a child prisoner

After he is jailed for 51 days, 45 of of which in a solitary cell , a 14 year old boy was released from prison due suspicion of carrying arms. Every time the judge asked him a question, the boy, who looked distracted, would lower his head with no answer. The judge decided to release him as there was nothing against him.

He went out of prison without feeling happy, because he has lost the meaning of feeling. He looked hilarious, unbalanced and does not know where to go. No body was waiting for him, he walked across the street saying, Oh God, when was the last time I saw a street !!!.

I asked him what is his house's telephone number so that I can call his family, unfortunately he does not remember it. He did not believe himself he is out of prison. He walked aimlessly. I had to stop a taxi for him to take him home. After he got inside the car, he said in a calm and sad voice, thank you, and God bless you.
