Syria (MNN) — Nihad Hassan, a Syrian Kurdish pastor based in Lebanon, knew the dangers of traveling back into Syria. Last week, while Pastor Nihad was on a trip in northern Syria, he was detained at the Afrin Central Civil Prison. Pastor Nihad leads Horizons’ Kurdish Church ministry in Beirut, Lebanon, and has played a crucial role in reaching Muslims in several countries. Houssney describes Syria as “fragmented and fragile,” with some regions being more Islamic than others, and some more secular than others. However, terrible mistreatment has continued to be documented in Afrin prisons, the region where Pastor Nihad is being held.
