German journalist Eva Maria Michelmann says she was tortured with electric shocks and witnessed severe abuse during five months in Syrian detention. She also accuses the authorities of trying to forcibly disappear her. DW reached out to the Syrian Embassy in Berlin about Michelmann's case weeks ago but did not receive a response until today. #syria #damascus #prison #media #torture #dwgermanpolitics For more news go to: http://www.dw.com/en/ Follow DW on social media: ►Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dwnews ►TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dwnews ►Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/deutschewellenews/ ►Twitter: https://twitter.com/dwnews ►Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/user/DWNews/ Für Videos in deutscher Sprache besuchen Sie: https://www.youtube.com/dwdeutsch Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/user/deutschewelleenglish?sub_confirmation=1
