The "National Showcase for Purebred Arab Horses" event at the Central Equestrian Club in the Dimas area of Rural Damascus made a powerful impression with the appearance of Syrian rider Adnan Al-Qassar. He had been imprisoned for nearly two decades in Sednaya Prison on fabricated charges related to possession of explosives and attempted assassination, following his athletic triumph over Basil al-Assad, son of the former Syrian president. During the event, Al-Qassar performed a demonstration ride on his horse in front of a large crowd and official attendees, symbolizing his regained dignity and serving as a symbol of victory for his spirit despite years of suffering and torture in prison. This event comes in the context of organizing the club’s first official tournament since its liberation, adhering to international sports standards and rules, aiming to restore the respect of national competitions based on merit and competence. Many Syrians viewed Al-Qassar’s appearance as a moment of justice and a step to end years of repression and suppression of talents. It is seen as the beginning of a new phase in which the rights and national symbols are being restored.
