Hamid Sulaiman, Freedom Hospital
The Author
. The year 2011 was not a comforting one for the lives of those living in Syria trying to avoid war. However, for those wanting revolution there was optimism. After 40 long years of the Assad regime there was a legitimate hope that freedom could be granted to Syria; the Arab Spring was upon them.
One man in particular was named Hamid Sulaiman, a pacifist that took to the streets with the rest of his people in protest. Originally studying arcitechture, he began to work on graphic novels and exhibits in his home town of Damascus until the spring of 2011 when the revolt broke out. He jumped right into the fold creating and publishing anti-torture graphics and organized media coverage of the demonstrations. He was in jail briefly, and after his unexpected release, they gave him two options, to stay and pledge allegiance to Assad, or leave. He vacated his home and made for Egypt and submitted an application for a German visa, where he planned to stay only a few weeks until the revolution had taken down Assad. When it looked as though the fight was going to be much longer than he had anticipated, he moved to France where he studied comic art and has spent the last 4 years working on his 280 sheet graphic novel Freedom Hospital...
