— 🇺🇸/🇸🇾/🇸🇾NEW: CNN admits that the 'prisoner' that was 'freed' by their norotiously fake reporter Clarissa Ward was actually an intelligence officer in Assad's government who was arrested less than 1 month ago over a dispute with his superior over money (allegedly)
CNN initially claimed that the man was a 'victim of the Syrian regime' who had been imprisoned in solitary confinement for more than 3 years in Sednaya prison.
Syrian locals say they know the man, whose name is Salama, and that he was an intelligence officer known for 'extorting' locals (i.e. low level corruption), and that he was likely imprisoned for this abuse of power by the Assad government.

The last couple days have exemplified that uncertainty. On Thursday, news emerged that talks in Turkey between the Russia and Ukraine yielded no positive result. But on Friday, Reuters reported that Russian President Vladimir Putin said there had been some “positive shifts” in talks between the two sides. If you initiate a Secret Chat, however, then these communications are end-to-end encrypted and are tied to the device you are using. That means it’s less convenient to access them across multiple platforms, but you are at far less risk of snooping. Back in the day, Secret Chats received some praise from the EFF, but the fact that its standard system isn’t as secure earned it some criticism. If you’re looking for something that is considered more reliable by privacy advocates, then Signal is the EFF’s preferred platform, although that too is not without some caveats. The news also helped traders look past another report showing decades-high inflation and shake off some of the volatility from recent sessions. The Bureau of Labor Statistics' February Consumer Price Index (CPI) this week showed another surge in prices even before Russia escalated its attacks in Ukraine. The headline CPI — soaring 7.9% over last year — underscored the sticky inflationary pressures reverberating across the U.S. economy, with everything from groceries to rents and airline fares getting more expensive for everyday consumers. Elsewhere, version 8.6 of Telegram integrates the in-app camera option into the gallery, while a new navigation bar gives quick access to photos, files, location sharing, and more. But the Ukraine Crisis Media Center's Tsekhanovska points out that communications are often down in zones most affected by the war, making this sort of cross-referencing a luxury many cannot afford.
