The release of Ragheed Al-Tatri, the dean of Syrian prisoners
Wael Ragheed Al-Tatri, the son of the Syrian pilot Ragheed Al-Tatri, the oldest detainee in Syrian prisons and the holder of the title of Dean of Prisoners, said in statements to Cairo 24: I contacted him today in the morning and he reassured me of his health, and he is in good health. I have seen him a few times in my life, and the last time I saw him. In 2013, the first time I saw my father, pilot Raghid al-Tatar, I was 13 years old.
Wael Ragheed Al-Tatri continued: I did not know many details about my father, but my mother always told me about him, and she told me that my father was a political prisoner, and detained by Syrian intelligence, and at that time he was in Egypt and he was arrested in the city of Alexandria.
Ragheed Al-Tatri was detained for 43 years in Syrian prisons
Wael Ragheed al-Tatri, the son of the Syrian pilot, the dean of the Syrian prisoners, added: I have seen him about 10 times in my life, and the reason for his arrest is not yet known. What is known in the story of his arrest is that he refused to bomb civilians in Hama, but this is not the main reason, because he was released after that. But he was arrested again.
Wael Ragheed Al-Tatri continued, “My mother died in Malaysia 5 years ago, and unfortunately she will not see him, and my father is loved by the whole world. I saw him from many people. He loved peace and was known to be against violence. Unfortunately, I do not know much about him, and I am waiting to meet him and communicate with him.” Again, because I am outside Syria.
Wael Ragheed Al-Tatri concluded: The feeling is indescribable, and when I contacted him immediately after his release, he said, “I am going out to break my fast. This is a simple thing, but this matter is very big for him because he is not accustomed to going out, and after 43 years he is free, and very happy with his release.”
