During a segment, CNN’s Clarissa Ward and a rebel fighter uncovered a prisoner who appeared to be still unaware of Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad’s ouster. But now, the Verify-SY news agency – which claims to be a media platform identifying false news and correcting it – is identifying the “prisoner” as a Syrian officer who is believed to have killed civilians and detained and tortured young men in Homs. His posing as a prisoner, the organization tweeted, “seems to be trying to rehabilitate his image.” TheWrap has reached out to CNN for clarification. CNN captured the moment Ward found the man, who was cloaked in a blanket in a locked cell of an emptied prison. “We were looking to do a story about the tens of thousands of Syrians who have vanished into Assad’s dungeons, and particularly also about one American journalist, Austin Tice, who was disappeared,” Ward later This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up . Ward was shown entering the cell after a guard shot off the lock. “Is there someone there?” Ward asks multiple times. The man emerged from beneath the cover with his hands raised. A CNN translation said the man claimed he had been in the cell for three months. “You’re OK, you’re OK,” Ward tells him, assisting him out into the open and into a vehicle. Social media quickly questioned the scenario. The post This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up appeared first on This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up .
