Syrian voices fighting for freedom and democracy

This year marked the 13th anniversary of the onset of the Syrian conflict. Since 2011 the Assad regime, abetted by Russia, has inflicted unspeakable brutality on the Syrian people. The conflict may be viewed as frozen by the outside world, but that is certainly not the case for many Syrians - no matter if they are still inside the country or living abroad. Possibly more than 100,000 Syrians have been disappeared, detained, tortured and killed in atrocious circumstances. Thousands upon thousands are still languishing in Assad’s jails, millions are displaced, and the Syrian regime and Russia keep bombing opposition areas with impunity While media attention and the international community has turned to other conflicts, the Syrians have been left to deal with the situation on their own. Despite dwindling international support, many Syrians continue fighting for justice and accountability. Meet some of them and hear how they are also preparing for a future Syria that is free and democratic
