CNN captured the moment a shocked Syrian prisoner was freed from his cell

Extraordinary video shows the moment a CNN reporter discovered a prisoner who had been locked in one of the Assad regime’s secret facilities for three months — and was unaware that the dictator’s rule had finally come to an end. While searching for traces of missing US journalist Austin Trice at a former Syrian Air Force intelligence headquarters in Damascus, CNN’s Clarissa Ward and her rebel fighter escorts noticed one windowless cell remained locked.
