Biography
Ragheed Ahmed al-Tatari (Arabic: رغÙد Ø£Ø٠د اÙططرÙ; born 25 December 1954) is a former military aviator from Syria, recognized as the longest-serving political prisoner in the country. His arrest by Syrian intelligence occurred in 1981, following his refusal to engage in the bombing of Hama and his subsequent flight to Jordan. Since that time, he has been detained in multiple correctional facilities administered by the Assad regime in Syria. After enduring approximately 43 years of imprisonment, he was ultimately freed on 8 December 2024.
