Ibrahim Qashoush was a fireman and amateur poet from Hama, Syria.
During the 2011 Syrian uprising, Qashoush was noted for singing and authoring songs mocking Syrian president Bashar al-Assad and the ruling Ba’ath party.
On 4 July 2011, Qashoush was found dead in the Orontes River, his throat cut and his vocal cords ripped out. After his murder, fellow protesters hailed Qashoush as the “nightingale of the revolution”.
they may have removed his throat, but his voice is still heard and continues to inspire the world
Beautiful to see signs of spirits high and hope still strong, they know what they want and they’re fighting for it subhan’Allah
I know may Allah give them the highest of jannah. They thought thy could defeat him yet his voice is still heard by millions
