Event Description: Join the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy for our new “Carr in Conversation” series. This series will examine human rights issues both at home and abroad, bringing in a wide range of experts to participate in these discussions to help better understand these challenges and how to address them.
During this conversation, Nieman Fellow Lina Chawaf will provide an overview of human rights in Syria over the past two decades. She will highlight the experiences of Syrian journalists who faced arrest, torture, and death at the hands of the Assad regime for their reporting on human rights violations. Chawaf also will examine the evolving status of women's rights, tracing their development from the onset of the Syrian Revolution to the present day.
