I was wondering about that video. I saw it elsewhere on reddit a few days ago and it was so touching (if real), but it was a little suspicious.

CNN's coverage of this is such an insult to the Syrians who have actually been harmed and oppressed by the Assad regime.

CNN is deplorable and Clarissa Ward should never be allowed back to Syria again, but do not let this mistrust become displaced and affect actual Syrians who are trying to convey the truth. People denied their reality for years because of media mistakes like these that are not the fault of Syrians.
Also, Richard Medhurst and Ali Abuminah should never be trusted when it comes to Syria and it’s right that they’re on a list of people spreading misinformation

Does anyone have any idea why an agent from the Syrian Air Force intelligence (Assad regime's Air Force) would pose as a prisoner locked up by Assad for a CNN interview? That's weird.

I’m going to lean that it’s good TV, aka they just lie for the viewership

Im pretty sure it’s a psyop to make it seem like the reporting on the prisons is fake.
