Shownotes Transcript

The first trial of crimes against humanity in Syria is taking place — but not at the International Criminal Court. 10 years after the first protests in Syria, a tiny spark of accountability has been lit, with the trial of two Syrians who first came to Germany seeking asylum. On the anniversary of Syria’s uprising, we hear from a reporter who’s been inside the courthouse nearly every day of a harrowing trial, and from a woman who’s staged her own vigil outside of it.

In this episode:

Wafa Mustafa (@WafaMustafa9)), Syrian activist; Hannah El-Hitami (@hannahel711)), journalist in Berlin, Germany.
