Documenting my cellmates' names in blood and rust

Available for over a year

Mansour Omari spent nearly a year in a Syrian government prison in 2012. We hear his account of life in an underground cell and how, against the odds, he managed to smuggle out the names of his fellow cellmates to their loved ones - by writing them down, using chicken bones and blood on a piece of cloth. This story was first released on 20th March 2017. Presenter: Anu Anand Producer: Emily Webb Image: Mansour Omari's list of names Credit: Mansour Omari
