More from @AFP's tsunami anniversary package.
Former rebel commander Muharram once led 3,000 men who spent decades fighting Indonesia's army in separatist Aceh.
But he is now a politician after the legacy of a devastating tsunami two decades ago brought peace.

Syrian activist whose suffering became symbol of Assad brutality found dead in Sednaya prison
Mazen al-Hamada had escaped to tell the world about regimeβs torture before returning to Damascus
"Mazen had endured torture so cruel, so unimaginable, that his retellings carried an almost otherworldly weight. When he spoke, it was as if he stared into the face of death itself, pleading with the angel of mortality for just a little more time." #Syria

Just horrific. More details coming out of Assad's Sednaya torture prison and I suspect they will keep coming. It will be imperative to protect and preserve the evidence so justice can be done one day.

Heartbroken that the body of Mazen al-Hamada has been discovered following his disappearance in Syria. Mazen had told his harrowing story of torture in cities around the world in the hopes of changing policy.
I'll never forget meeting him. I pray we'll continue his journey.

Sednaya prison is a horror.
Thousands of people in a stream of bodies walked toward the most infamous prison under the Assad regime. Every single person I interviewed, bar one, had at least one family member inside.
Many had no news of family theyβd last seen over a decade ago.
