Abu Ekrimah is a 75-year old man
He was forced to go out under the difficult humanitarian and life circumstances in the besieged City of Deir Al Zour
To look for bread for his family
Abu Ekrimah says that the regime’s forces took him to a dark room
And tortured him in different ways
Without taking his old age into consideration.
My children remained without bread for three days
I went to look for bread
One of my relatives who works in a bakery said “ Come, Uncle! Let me give you bread before it gets crowded”.
Suddenly, a group of guards shouted: “Stop! Stop!”
I stopped.
What do you have in that bag?
I told them that the bag was empty and that I was taking it for bread.
They said: “Come with us”
They brought a cable and pulled my hands back
Three guards! A man jumped on me
They started hitting me. They hit me on my hand and damaged it.
They started pulling my ears and hitting my face with the wall
The four of them started hitting me
A man came out with a tea pot . He poured the hot tea on my back
One hit my face with his boots
They said: “Tell us about terrorists”
I said: “Which terrorists? I know nothing!”
They said : “And the Wahabis?”
I told them I do not know any Wahabis!
They said: “And the Chechens?” I told them I do not know Chechens
They said : “And the Afghanis?” I told them I do not know
They said: “And the Circassians?” I told them I do not know
They said: “And the Libyans?”
Where is the Free Army?
I told them that the Free Army is in the city
They said: “Where?”
I told them I do not know and I do not go out of my house
They said: “You must tell us”
I told them I swear to God I do not Know. I am 75 years old
Your mother and your sister! (Insulted him)
I told them not to insult my mother
I told them “shame on you! We are all Arabs”
They said: “You are teaching us morals, son of a b****?”, and started hitting me.
I told them “This is not permissible, guys!”
Every battalion has a person in charge. Call the person in charge and let me speak with him.
The Colonel came and I asked him “What did I do, Colonel?”
Is there a curfew?
They said : “We will tie you and use you as a shield. When we open the doors you enter before us”
I told them “I cannot do anything about it!”
I swear to God he put the rifle here and loaded it three times!
I told him: “Hit me. What am I supposed to do at this age? I am 75 and you will not terrify me!”
They said: “We can kill you and put a bomb in your hand and say that you attacked us!”
To God I complain!
May God have revenge on them!
