Hello and welcome to NewsHour.
It's coming to you live from the BBC World Service studios in London.
I'm Tim Franks and we're heading first to Syria and the funeral of a man whose activism, whose incarceration and torture at the hands of the country's rulers, whose haunted face and tear streaming eyes became a symbol of the utter degradation and cruelty of the Assad regime.
Mazan Al Hamada's body was found on Monday in the morgue of the Sadnaya prison, the prison that the human rights group Amnesty International called a human slaughterhouse.
Footage posted online showed mourners today at Mazen's funeral.
Funeral urged chanters at that funeral.
For Mazen, his story had particular resonance across the world, not just because of the level of violence he endured and the eloquence with which he told his story when he managed to leave Syria, but then the fact that he returned to the country in 2020, despite the immense risk.
Before going back, one of the interviews Mazan had given was for the TV documentary Sirius Disappeared.
He described an interrogation by security officers.
He said, what type of weapon did you have?
I told him a camera, impertinently.
I told him a Toshiba camera.
