The US military evacuated an American citizen who was released from a Syrian prison. An American official gave this information on Friday. Travis Timerman, a US citizen who went missing seven months ago and was held in former President Bashar Assad’s notorious prison, was one of thousands of people freed this week by rebels.

In this regard, an official said that Travis Timerman was evacuated from Syria through an American military helicopter. Timerman, 29, told The Associated Press that he had gone to Syria on a Christian pilgrimage and was not ill-treated while in detention.

The American citizen told that the rebels came to the jail and broke the door (of his cell) with a hammer and freed him. Timerman said he was released on Monday morning along with a young Syrian man and 70 female prisoners, some of whom had children with them.
