Syrian actor Moan Abdel Haq broke his silence after being released by Syrian authorities, clarifying the details of his recent detention and confirming that what happened was the result of a fight with another person in a public place, and had nothing to do with his political views. His comments came after widespread controversy on social media in recent days.

The Syrian actor stated in media remarks that public security officers treated him with great respect, describing the treatment he received as “more than wonderful,” and expressing hope that all Syrians would experience a more stable and reassuring period in the future.

Abdel Haq noted that he had lived through periods of fear and anxiety, pointing out that many people in the artistic community used to avoid expressing their opinions freely out of fear of accountability or pressure, according to his description, without going into political details related to that period.

The actor also revealed that he had kept the Syrian flag inside his home for years, affirming his attachment to his homeland and his desire to see Syria overcome its crises and move toward a more stable phase.

During his remarks, Moan Abdel Haq addressed a message to Syrian President Ahmad Al-Sharaa, praising what he described as his concern for the country and the Syrian people, and expressing hope that the coming period would bring better conditions for Syrians on all levels.

The actor’s statements came after spending two days in detention in Damascus following an altercation with another person in a public place, before later being released after the completion of the procedures related to the incident.

News of Abdel Haq’s detention brought his name back into the spotlight, especially as he is considered one of the well-known faces of Syrian drama. His name has been associated with several famous productions that achieved wide popularity among Arab audiences, most notably the series “Bab Al-Hara,” in which he portrayed the character “Shtayef Al-Aama.”
