The SAD story of the champion, 21 years of torture after beating Assad's
Bashar Al Assad/ Adnan Kassar

Painful stories continue to emerge from Syria, now that the regime of Bashar Al Assad has fallen and people's fear of speaking out has disappeared.

A sad story has recently revealed that a champion horse racer was tortured for more than 21 years in Syrian prisons, for the sole reason that he defeated the dictator's brother, Assad , in a competition .

Adnan Kassar , who won several gold medals and led the national show jumping team in the 1980s, was a close friend of Assad and his older brother, Bassel .

But their friendship was broken, never to be restored, when they faced off in a competition together and Kassar, as expected, was declared champion.

He says that the crowd cheered him on, but this was not well received by Bassel, and from that moment on, his nightmare began, which lasted for more than 21 years.

Immediately after the race he was arrested, on trumped-up charges, which he believes were fabricated out of Bassel's jealousy.

The champion confesses that for 2 decades from that day he was sent to prison and physically and psychologically abused.

The violence against him escalated when Bassel died because Bashar somehow held him responsible for it.

Over the years, many activists raised his case and made several international appeals in an attempt to free him from imprisonment.

But his name was repeatedly left out of amnesty decrees and he was left to rot in the many prisons of Syrian hell for 21 years.

Kassar was finally released on June 16, 2014, after prolonged pressure from international human rights groups, but has remained silent about his ordeal until now.
