A #photo circulating on #socialmedia last Saturday, purportedly showing a man named Ali Al-Ali from Akkar, released after 39 years of detention in Hama Central Prison, has been debunked. #news #syria
The Fact Check Lebanon team contacted Ali Al-Ali's family, who confirmed that his brother, Amer Al-Ali, traveled to Syria to investigate.
After speaking with the man in question, Amer confirmed he was not the missing Akkari but a Syrian detainee.
