A Syrian guest on Al-Arabiyya TV

So the news station of King Fahd's brother-in-law, Al-Arabiyya, invited a Syrian woman to speak from Jordan about her experience in Syrian jail and to speak about torture.  She started by saying that she herself did not experience torture (because she said that her group was comprised of artists and educated) but went on to speak about torture.  She was then asked whether she herself heard of sounds of torture while in jail, she said that while she did not others have witnessed such acts and went on to talk about that.  The anchor was frustrated I felt, and thanked her for her account.
