Why I’m not giving up on Syria’s disappeared
Update: 2025-01-09
Description
In the hours after the Assad dynasty fell in Syria, a frantic search began for survivors of the regime’s brutal prison system. Thousands of people were freed but others remain unaccounted for. In this episode of Close Up, we join Bassam Ezzedine, a former Syrian detainee on a mission to help families find their relatives who went missing or were jailed during the Assad family’s rule. After seeing his own family members disappear, Basem had been living in exile in Turkey but returned home to a new Syria when opposition forces took over. But his work has another purpose: recovering evidence, in the hope that delivering justice for past crimes will help Syrians build a better future.
