A Syrian filmmaker was stabbed in the chest in Istanbul on Tuesday evening, in what activists described as an assassination attempt.
Muhammad Bayazid was attacked while meeting potential investors for his new film project, The Tunnel, which focuses on Tadmor prison in Syria’s Homs province.
The prison has long been one of the most notorious in Syria, well before the civil war broke out in 2011.
