Syrian Hid at Home for 13 Years After Regime Fall
Syrian Muhammad Zakkour disappeared for over 13 years behind a wall inside his house in Latakia, out of fear of arrest during the Syrian war. Zakkour lives in a cramped space no larger than one meter, which has been transformed into his secret living area measuring three meters high, where he would sleep, eat, and pray without his family seeing him. Notably, only his wife was aware of his true situation; she would bring him food and medicines through a small opening. His family believed he had died, and a funeral was held in his memory, while he was hiding inside his house. It was only in December 2024, upon hearing about the end of Bashar al-Assad’s regime, that he emerged after more than 13 years. His story is considered one of the most extraordinary tales of fear and hiding due to detention in Syria, where he lived a secret life inside his home throughout this period.
