Trump shooter's shocked teacher reveals details of his college lifeThe family of Majd Kamalmaz, an American psychotherapist who was detained at a government checkpoint in Damascus, Syria , in 2017, have filed a civil lawsuit against the Syria n government, accusing it of abducting, torturing and killing him.

Kamalmaz was visiting an elderly family member at the time of his detainment and intended to establish a clinic in Syria to aid victims impacted by the civil war. “Syrian officials and agents purposefully killed Mr. Kamalmaz. Acting in concert and with premeditation, these officials and agents deliberately killed Mr. Kamalmaz and attempted to cover up his death,” the lawsuit read in part.

“I know that if my father was with me right now, he would not rest until all men, women and children are released from the Assad regime’s concentration camps,” said Maryam. “In his honor, we plan to hold the regime fully accountable for its crimes against Americans and Syrians alike, and we call on the U.S. Senate to urgently pass the Assad Anti-Normalization Act for the sake of Americans still held by this criminal regime.
