Opposition fighters have freed the inmates kept inside Hama prison. There were dramatic and emotional scenes outside of the prison, after those in-side were let out. Some of the prisoners reunited with their loved ones just outside the facility's walls. Some kept inside have been detained for nearly 40 years - many, without a trial.

Mohammad Al Abdallah, the Director of Syria Justice & Accountability Centre and a former political prisoner in Syria, joins Al Jazeera's live from Washington DC.
