Under the Assad regime, hundreds of Syrian children were hidden in orphanages to extort their parents. A major international charity knew, but kept silent.
Beatriz and Tessa speak with Bashar and Mais about the experience of reporting from Syria for the first time in 14 years and what it means to uncover injustice in a country still healing from dictatorship. We discuss the story’s impact and how the reporting empowered the families still searching for their children and for justice and accountability.
They also speak with Lighthouse Senior Editor, Charlotte Alfred who explains how this cross-border collaboration came together and why international partnerships remain vital for accountability journalism in Syria.
