At Raqqa ‘roundabout of hell,’ Syrian lovers find new meeting spotRAQQA: RAQQA: Only a few years ago, Al-Naim square was the grim stage for Raqqa's public executions. "Before, we used to avoid passing near it so that we wouldn't see blood and horror," Hussein says. Their marauding morality police made it impossible for lovers to meet, even in private, without risking death. "We used to be scared of even passing near it," he says. Abdel Majid Abdallah, one of the workers, says he could never forget how Daesh used to display prisoners in cages at the roundabout.
