Transitional Justice w/Razan Rashidi (E7)

Leila and Justin are joined by Razan Rashidi, Executive Director of The Syria Campaign [https://thesyriacampaign.org/], to talk about Transitional Justice.  Tens of thousands of Syrians were forcibly disappeared at the hands of the Assad regime, as well as other actors. Only a small number were released from prison, mass graves were discovered and many families still have no news about the fate of their loved ones. In this episode we discuss what is being done to hold perpetrators to account, achieve justice for the victims and end the ongoing culture of impunity.
