He was taken   to his sister\u2019s apartment, in what is believed to have been an attempt   to extract information from his sister about her husband, a pro-reform   activist. <\/p>\n<p>According to a contact in Syria, Suhaib al-Ammar   was held incommunicado at a military airport until the day of his   release, when he was taken before a judge where he faced accusations of   insulting the Syrian president and attending illegal demonstrations. He   denied these accusations and the judge decided to release him without   charge. <\/p>\n<p>Amnesty International\u2019s source stated that   Suhaib al-Ammar said he was subjected to torture or other ill-treatment   during his interrogation and that he could hear other detainees being   tortured or otherwise ill-treated as well. He was reportedly held in   poor conditions in an overcrowded room with more than 120 other   prisoners. <\/p>\n<p> <strong>Thanks to all of those who took action on behalf of <\/strong> <strong>Suhaib al-Ammar<\/strong> <strong>.
