Abdullah Hamid El Asasniy-Abu Naci, who lives in Idlib, was taken under custody, tortured and forced to whistle-blowing. He brought his father and mother along with him and came to Turkey.
Abdullah Hamid El Asasniy-Abu Naci: I am from Al Reshadiya neighborhood of Idlib province in Syria. I am 35 years old. I have a store where I sell musical instruments, mobile phone and accessories. I have 3 children.
ORSAM: Could you tell us about your experiences in Syria and the reasons why you came to Turkey?
Abdullah Hamid El Asasniy-Abu Naci: My elder brother joined Jaish Al-Hur. My brother is in Syrian regular army. My brother is tanker. He is generally in Al-Rif district of Damascus. My brother says that Syrian regular army is constantly dropping bombs on villages, hamlets and and strives to seize the control in the region. My elder brother joined the Jaish al-Hur forces in Aleppo. I provide financial and moral support for my elder brother and his friends. I set a budget by gathering donation money from the businessmen around me. This budget is generally spent for families of those who fight within Jaish al-Hur. Making its presence felt in Idlib at first, Jaish al-Hur had to withdraw from Idlib afterwards. Currently, central Idlib is under the control of Syrian regular army. Even though I have no problem in my personal record, I was taken into custody due to the fact that whistleblowers told I helped Jaish al-Hur. I was tortured. I was forced to whistleblow. My house was destroyed. My store was destroyed during the bombardment. I had no goods or income left. I brought my old mom and dad along with me and came to Turkey. We cannot hear from my elder brother and brother. I will not go back to Syria until things settle down.
