#Syria: Assad's police threatened to bury me & my reporting. Now I'm back, & free. “There's…joy…in Damascus, despite worries about Islamist rebels being in control & whether they'll ensure safety... …HTS fighters have protected public institutions from looting after mobs stormed the presidential palace, & prisoners have been freed. An HTS group met with Christian residents…in Damascus, to give assurances they were not seeking to limit their freedoms.” | Lina Sinjab, BBC https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c791dye1z2lo
