Adnan Syed Parents: Meet Shamim Syed And Syed Rahman

Adnan is the son of Shamin Syed and Syed Rahman.

When Adnan was declared a free man, among those waiting for him outside, was his mother Shamim Syed. Nothing could erase the smile from her face: her family’s 23 years of ordeal was finally over.

Adnan’s imprisonment caused a lot of problems in his family. His father Syed Rahman became depressed and reclusive, preferring to read Islamic books in solitude rather than socialise with his mourning family.

Although his father refused to go to court with the rest of the family, he always believed in his son’s innocence.
