Ahmed Yousef Jawhar, the son of the Baath Party’s Secretary has also been allegedly involved in drug promotion to university students. He has just been released from jail.

Daily scenes of destruction and bloodshed in Syria forced dozens of helpless civilians, among them children, to consume drugs and sniff glue, among other life-threatening substances, as a means to get over the trauma inflicted by the unabated warfare. Drug use, which starts as a way to escape, quickly makes their life worse.
