Powerful images have emerged showing Syrians, including women and children, being freed from prisons across the country after the toppling of President Bashar Al-Assad. The White Helmets rescue organization said it had deployed five specialized emergency teams to search for prison cells believed to be hidden underground at the notorious prison, citing survivors' accounts. Footage appears to show a child being liberated from a prison cell in Syria in footage captured after the fall of Assad's regime. People could also be seen toppling statues of Assad's father Hafez al-in cities across Syria, including in the Assad stronghold of Latakia.

CNN —As many in Syria celebrated the end of the long rule of Bashar al-Assad, rumors swirled about his whereabouts. Assad has not been seen or heard from since rebels declared Damascus “liberated” after sweeping through the capital and seizing key sites. Since the uprising began, and the rebels rapidly advanced through the country, Assad has kept a low profile. On Saturday, as the rebels encircled Damascus, a source told CNN that Assad was nowhere to be found in the city. CNN cannot confirm whether Assad was on this flight.
