Reviews
- Incredibly insightful and instructive
An amazing two seasons of in-depth coverage of efforts to get justice for the people of Syria, and no less relevant despite the fall of the Assad regime. Also a damning indictment of the slowness of countries like Austria which have failed to prosecute war criminals on their territory. I assume there won’t be another series, which is really sad - I’ve learned so much.

As someone with connections to Syria who has followed the events there even as they’ve fallen out of mainstream coverage, this podcast casts a light on a completely new area - the amazingly valiant efforts of so many dedicated campaigners outside Syria to seek formal justice. It’s well told and extremely interesting.
Apple Podcasts5KhulradUnited Kingdom2 years ago - Important listening
I read a book about Syria and the war there up to about 2017. I wanted to know what happened next, more about the countless victims in this epicenter of geopolitical, religious and secterial war. I wanted to know what happened to the people who demonstrated and hopes for a more democratic and lawful society. This is an important podcast, I think, for everyone whos interested in knowing about the conflicts that were played out in Syria and that still has wide repurcussions for the region - and th... more
