This morning starts with very good news. #Syria is liberated from dictator #Assad. I'm seeing videos of prison doors being unlocked, women and children being liberated.

My hope for Syria is that the #freedom lasts. Having seen similar pictures in a very different context, from Iran, as a child, I sincerely hope that this change will be different.

No mere swapping of prison directors, no takeover of torture chambers by the new powers, no transformation of oppression, to adapt it to a different ideology.

I hope.
