  • No news from Omama's father, who disappeared in Syria eight years ago

    Istanbul, Mar 13 (EFE / EPA) .- (Camera: Erdem Sahin) On September 15, 2013, Omama's father accompanied her to look for a university and said goodbye with the promise of picking her up the next day. He never saw him again. FOOTAGE OF OMAMA ABDEL HADY, SYRIAN ACTIVIST WHOSE FATHER IS MISSING, WALKING THROUGH THE STREETS OF ISTANBULSOUNDBITES OF OMAMA IN ARABICTRANSLATION 00:01 to 01:03In September 2013, my father, who was a driver, went to downtown Damascus and never came back. The road he used to take had no government checkpoints, so the most logical explanation was that he was arrested. From that moment we never heard from him.We tried to find out. We tried to ask the detainees who had been released if they had seen Dad (Baba), if anyone heard him or his name, but unfortunately we did not receive any news and so far we do not know what happened to him.Papi (Baba) had no specific activity (he was not an activist) he was a driver and he was older, in his 70s, so he was not an activist. But he has been forcibly disappeared and we know nothing about his whereabouts.01:03 to 01:39Unfortunately, when a person is detained by this regime, we cannot be in contact with them, we cannot have news about them, what is the person's situation, if they are injured, if they need medication, if they are hungry, if they are cold. Unfortunately, you cannot have any information about the person. In reality, this regime does not recognize that it arrests, imprisons people, tortures them or makes them disappear. So no, we have not managed to obtain any information and we have not had contact (with the regime).01:43 to 02:26In 2013 After the disappearance of my father, the situation in our town was a bit difficult, there were strikes, then displacement came (…). Let's say it was basically not safe for us to stay in that place, so we were forced to go to Jordam. We were there for five years and in 2016 we moved to Turkey as it was better for us and now we are in Istanbul.02:26 to 02:49What we (myself and other families) want is to know what happened to our relatives, whether they are detained by the regime or by all other parties, and that the regime allows aid to the detainees and from local organizations, from medical items as well.02:49 to 02:54The regime is making these people disappear for no reason.02:54 to 03:17The regime has no right to hide our loved ones. We demand his release and know his whereabouts, and prosecute anyone responsible for his disappearance, torture or detention of our loved ones.

  • Hyundai Pony Coupe Concept restored after 50 years, unveiled at its birthplace Italy

    Hyundai Motor Company’s recreated Pony Coupe Concept has made its world premiere — nearly 50 years after its original debut — in Lake Como, Italy. Originally unveiled at the 1974 Turin Motor Show, the Pony Coupe Concept is an important vehicle in the company’s history and design heritage. Hyundai Motor unveiled the rebuilt Pony Coupe Concept at the inaugural Hyundai Reunion, a heritage brand platform that reflects on Hyundai Motor’s past and its future direction. Among the representatives present at the event were Giorgetto Giugiaro and his son Fabrizio Giugiaro, long time designer himself, to signal the previously announced restoration, completed by GFG Style, the style center that draws on the creative expertise of Fabrizio and Giorgetto, of the car that led to the creation of the brand’s seminal Pony line-up, Korea’s first independently developed mass-production models. Under the Pony Coupe Concept restoration project, Hyundai Motor Company has brought the original Pony Coupe Concept shown at the 1974 Turin Motor Show back to life. This restoration project is a testament to the spirit, daring passion and ambition that Hyundai employees and executives had to create a global brand with the Pony Coupe Concept at its forefront. With its unique aesthetic sensibility, the Pony Coupe Concept was a groundbreaking model in its time. Unfortunately, due to the adverse global economic conditions in the late 1970s, what could have been Hyundai’s first sensational sports car was unable to reach commercial production and was lost to history. Nevertheless, the concept embodies Hyundai’s bold determination to enter the sports-car sector for long-term leadership as an #automotive company – this spirit still underlies in Hyundai’s leadership in electrification and high-performance hydrogen technology.
