The young Syrian Hadi Al-Abdullah did not know the faculties and media institutes, and when the total of his shortage of entry to the Faculty of Medicine arrived to another door to specialize in nursing, everything he was interested in the medical profession that it fights pain.

The Syrian revolution, which exploded in March 2011, interrupted the path he set for himself, but became the voice of his people's revolution when he overlooked the world on Al Jazeera with his first appearance in April 2012.

In a book under publication, 32-year-old Hadi al-Abdullah tells his diary with the Syrian Revolution, presenting it as a story of human conscience under the title "Critical Cases: From my Diary in the Syrian Revolution 2011-2019".

Hadi recounts how he disregarded his work from all people, even from his family, except his mother, who briefed her on his revolutionary mission. She stood steadfastly at the door of his room on the top floor to guard him as he performed his job, whispering in the telephone to the channels and the sound returns to the house to find echoes in the basement. And, starting from the television screen, which is followed by his father news Sheikh calls for this reporter well he does not know that his son, and then calls his son to listen to the news of the demonstrations perhaps he is enthusiastic Vhak.

Hadi, a pseudonym, tells how he chose a pseudonym to hide his identity in the early days of his communication with the news networks. This name was "Samir Fathi," and as the events of the revolution intensified and the regime tightened its grip on activists, Hadi felt that the regime had approached Samir Fathi. He was no longer between him and the arrest except the ijtihad shabih or soldier.

Hadi cheated to save himself that killed "Samir Fathi", and threw the news to the news agencies Vtarth, and broadcast "Al Jazeera", and set up the channel "Wissal" mourning for three days .. But this death did not eliminate him, so he rose to become "Hadi Al Abdullah ".
