He is from Homs and lives in al-Hamra neighborhood.&nbsp;  He had been one of the most prominent activists in the city of Homs; he filmed  many footages and sometimes he had taken care of the live broadcasting device.<\/p>\n<p>He contributed in and filmed the protests in al-Qalamoun  University to be then put on the wanted list for the Syrian regime. He had been  arrested at his university dorm room by Air Force Intelligence in Damascus on  16\/11\/2012. He had been brutally beaten and tortured.<\/p>\n<p>Upon his release, he has become more persistent and  determined for freedom.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>He loves videography which he used to document crimes  perpetrated by the regime, so he started filming protests in all dangerous  places. In addition, he had filmed many important crimes like mortar and  artillery shelling. Then he had filmed special operations by the Free Syrian  Army because they trust his courage, patience and chivalry.<\/p>\n<p>On 24\/02\/2012, Anas visited a friend, who have satellite  internet in Juret al-Shyah in Homs, to upload to YouTube some videos of the  protest that he filmed in al-Mal&rsquo;ab neighborhood in Homs on the Friday that  activists called &ldquo;We are going to protest for Baba Amr&rdquo;. On his way home, he  had been hit by a mortar that ripped his body. Anass lost his lower body parts  due to this shell fired by the Syrian regime forces. He had been then  transported to al-Amal Hospital where there were hopes of saving his life, but  as they have stopped bleeding from his legs the Syrian regime&rsquo;s forces raided  the hospital to abduct the victims. His comrades and members of the Free Syrian  Army were able to transport him to a make-shift hospital. On their way to the  make-shift hospital, regime snipers targeted them. Anas has died when they  arrived at a make-shift hospital.<\/p>\n<p>The last video filmed by Anas<br \/>\n  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=f3x5vWCYnzs\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=f3x5vWCYnzs<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Video showing the victim&rsquo;s body<br \/>\n  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=nR7xTi7SWqs\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=nR7xTi7SWqs<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Video showing the funeral procession of the victim<br \/>\n  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=xYiCTTCOWZY\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=xYiCTTCOWZY<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The activist&rsquo;s photograph<br \/>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/photo.php?fbid=321467574609391&amp;set=a.253372941418855.58117.250521655037317&amp;type=1&amp;relevant_count=1\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/photo.php?fbid=321467574609391&amp;set=a.253372941418855.58117.250521655037317&amp;type=1&amp;relevant_count=1<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Another picture of Anas in the streets of his quarter in the  city of Homs.<br \/>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/photo.php?fbid=321467347942747&amp;set=a.253372941418855.58117.250521655037317&amp;type=1&amp;relevant_count=1\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/photo.php?fbid=321467347942747&amp;set=a.253372941418855.58117.250521655037317&amp;type=1&amp;relevant_count=1<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><u>Syrian Network for Human Rights &#8211; London &amp; <br \/>\nDamascus Center for Human Rights Studies &#8211; Syria<\/u><\/p>\n<p>SNHR:<\/p>\n<p>Website: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.syrianhr.org\" target=\"_blank\">www.syrianhr.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Email: <a href=\"mailto:press@syrianhr.org\">press@syrianhr.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>DCHRS:<\/p>\n<p>Website: <a href=\"https:\/\/dchrs.org\/english\/news.php\">www.dchrs.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Email: <a href=\"mailto:info@dchrs.org\">info@dchrs.org<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anas, born in 1993, is a first year business administration  student at al-Qalamoun University.
