The library was stored in secret because possessing such materials would have likely resulted in imprisonment or worse under the rule of former President Bashar al-Assad.

Does anyone know what library this was hidden in? Would love to see more details about the recovery.
Science books and poetry were dangerous enough, but Islamic texts were a clear target. Chilling reality.
Fifteen years behind a wall? I wonder if the books are still in good condition after all that time.
This really shows how dangerous the Assad regime was for intellectuals and ordinary citizens alike.
The lengths people go to preserve knowledge is truly inspiring. Hope Mustafa finds peace now.
