Anas Hussin was 18 when he, his mother and six siblings joined the exodus of millions , sparking a global refugee crisis.

Hussin , like many other Syrians , fled the country during the height of it’s refugee crisis nearly a decade ago .

As part of an international response, the Canadian government welcomed more than 25,000 Syrian refugees between 2015 and 2016 .

Dr. Ahmed Chaker estimates Windsor's Syrian population has since grown to nearly 4,000 people.

Syrians back home have been flooding into prisons that operated under Assad 's regime in search of loved ones who went missing.

Thousands of prisoners were set free after Assad ’s overthrow, but many arrested over the years simply disappeared.

Hussin said he is anxiously waiting to hear if his cousin, who disappeared in one of those prisons, will be found dead or alive.
