Today is my father's birthday. If he's still alive in #Assad prisons, he turns 61. Living in a limbo of waiting for a decade, I realized I've lived as a shadow of my dad. Today, I brought him a cake, sang Happy Birthday with a broken heart & cried. “Happy” birthday, Dad..❤️

I said these words last year outside the Russian embassy in Berlin. It's very sad, outrageous & shameful that Russia gets yet to destroy another country while the world is watching! We need to stop the massacres in #Syria & in #Ukraine ! We won't forget/forgive or be silenced!

2500 days since my dad was forcibly disappeared by #assad regime #Syria I smell and touch his clothes everyday. Not only because I miss him, but to remind myself that I have a father; these are his clothes, smell and size. Today he turns 58. Happy birthday to you, Dad

3312 days of enforced disappearance for my dad in #assad ’s prisons. I’m drained & heartbroken..I can’t explain how it has affected my past 9 years: my capacity to love, work & live. My life is an unending race with time, guilt & an enormous feeling of helplessness. #syria

My mom and dad dancing in a wedding. It might seem very normal for many ppl but not for us who lost our loved ones in #assad prisons. No matter how much I can say about the daily pain we feel, there's still a lot that no one can describe. I just want to see my dad dancing again

@goetheinstitut @varathas @m7mdkurd @goetheinstitut you can't "pick and choose" your fav struggles to support while ignoring & even silencing others! Your anti-palestinian RACISM shows what a hypocrite institute you are. That's outrageous & has NOTHING to do with human rights or "Global rights"! SHAME!

Today is #FamilyDay in #Canada . I hope that the officer, who refused my visa application to visit my mother & sisters whome I haven't seen in 3 years, is spending the day with their family & thinking of ppl like me who they deprived any chance to reunite with their loved ones.

I look at this photo of my mom & dad dancing. I try to imitate my dad's moves & smile to survive his absence. Today, my dad Ali Mustafa completes 2778 days in #Assad detention centers. We're only left with a few photos & all I want is to see him dancing again. #freedetainees

It's snowing in Berlin today. I'm sitting in my bed watching the snow from my window, looking at old photos, thinking of how much my dad loved snow. How absurd is the fact that while I'm writing this, my dad completes 2751 days in #assad prisons. Why? For what crime? Freedom!?

A year full of lonely walks. I walked & wondered abt the feeling of those whose hearts don't break every time they hear the word "Dad", every time they see fathers & daughters, every night they sleep not repeating:"I hope my dad is still alive". 3102 days in #Assad ’s prisons, Dad

These photos are from the 8th anniversary of my dad's enforced disappearance by #Assad regime #Syria . This is me & Mariam Hallak, mother of Ayham Ghazoul who got killed under torture. She told me: I promise ur dad will return.. It broke my heart that I couldn't tell her the same.

I've been feeling v. dismotivated recently. The only thought I have is that I'm exhausted & drained but nothing I did/do could save my dad who completed 2952 days in #assad prisons #Syria . It hurts beyond words that life continues while my dad is still forcibly disappeared..

Every couple of days, I bring my dad new flowers, I wipe his picture & tell him about my day. My dad demanded freedom for #Syria . For that, he's been forcibly disappeared for 2791 days by #assad regime. They want us to forget but we'll always remember. #freedetainees

I stood outside the courthouse in #koblenz where #alkhatibtrial is taking place, surrounded by the photos of 61 #detainee among which is my own dad. I wish I could carry the photos of all those detained by #assad #isis and all those who use detention as a tool to terrorize ppl.
