Why I’m not giving up on Syria’s disappeared | Close Up
Former Syrian detainee Bassam Ezzedine is on a mission to help prisoners of the fallen regime to find their families. But after the overthrow of President Bashar al-Assad, Ezzedine hurried back home to help others find relatives who had gone missing as suspected victims of the brutal prison system. His mission also includes gathering evidence of the regime’s crimes, in the hope that delivering justice will help Syrians build a better future.
