Oh, I thought it's legit and started commenting before looking at the video.
LOL, apparently none of you guys have ever been in real depression, to sit at home for long time and not eat well.
Or none have seen real inmates of such prisons.
You might consider tan a racial trait, but it's not and the guy would be pale as a corpse. Nobody in a Syrian prison would help him get more sunlight. Especially if he were locked in such a place. Walls and floors she shows are too clean. A guy under a blanket whom nobody found before a CNN correspondent got there? You really believe that?
He also looks as if he were fed well for a few months before that. Except for shaking hands, but tremor can be imitated. The blanket looks kinda whole and clean.
Fsck, reminds me of watching pieces of Soviet TV on Youtube, of the "Kalashnikov (the man) talks to soldiers in Afghanistan about their complaints and wishes for the next revision of the rifle" kind. That video I'm talking about had soldiers in the same 60s kit, despite actual combatants in Afghanistan having a lot of official (the so-called "Afghan" uniform, they say it's kinda convenient, and also it looks really nice of photos) and unofficial (sneakers instead of tarpaulin boots, baseball caps) changes by then, awkward questions and answers, weirdly chosen location, too little tan on soldiers for Afghanistan ... A very uncanny feeling.
There was also some other video, where an officer inspecting a column (looks legit, all the official and unofficial changes are there) somehow right on camera finds a Kazakh and someone else (non-Russian too) beating a Russian, stops that, scolds them, listens it all out, gives out that strict, but fair punishment ... Very unnatural too.
My point - it's a clear fake.
EDIT: Except not sure about tan, in some parts of the video he looks tanned, in some not. I think there's been some lousy editing involved.
He was only in the cell 3 months and it’s well lit. This isn’t as impossible as you think.
It isn't. But it's a safe bet to expect fakes from CNN on anything concerning emotions, good and evil, liberation and oppression, etc.
For me the "Democratic" and "Republican" choices for support in Syria seem inverted as compared to American parties themselves. CNN reproduces narratives of the Sunni Jihadi types who suddenly pretend to be progressive (it's not necessary to put a bag on a woman, a Christian has a right to live, such very revolutionary things for them). Fox News interviews SDF commanders, and SDF is the only secular democratic force there, even socialist.
