Still in #Syria searching for my father. Thousands of families are searching for loved ones, desperate for any piece of information. For years, the Assad regime denied our pain, denied our demands, and gaslit us about their arrests. We won’t be silent. We demand the full truth

Wow, UN fail. Sat in a hotel with two very brave Syrians, one a former prisoner another who is looking for her father. Both were scheduled to travel with the @UNEnvoySyria to a prison facility. Only problem is the convoy left without them. Can you imagine how degrading that is.

@JamesAndreF24 @emeraldmaxwell @andyhilliar @VedikaBahl @dougf24 @WafaMustafa9 has been leading a campaign to find the tens of thousands of Syrians disappeared by the #Assad regime. Among them is her own father, whom she hasn’t had news of since he was arrested in 2013. She spoke to Angela Diffley on #F24AroundTheWorld ⤵️

حتى لحظة نشر هذه التغريدة لم تعثر فرقنا التي وصلت إلى سجن #صيدنايا على أي أبواب سرية يتم الحديث عنها، الفرق تعمل بأدوات الخرق والبحث والمجسات الصوتية وبوجود فرق k9 التي تضم ��لاباً مدربة، ويرافقنا في البحث أشخاص يعرفون كل تفاصيل السجن إضافة لاعتمادنا على إرشادات من أناس تم التواصل

Last night Syrian activists and friends held candles together in Trafalgar Square in central London to mourn over 50,000 people in Türkiye and 6,000 people in Syria who lost their lives in the colossal earthquake on 6 February 2023.

يُعجبكم موتنا وتتفاخرون بكثرة شهدائنا يُعجبكم قهرنا وقلة حيلتنا وصمودنا وتكرهون ضعفنا وإعترافنا بأننا بشر حتى انك يا عزيزي لم تتكبد عناء مقاطعة منتجات القتلة الا بعد ان قتل منا ما يزيد عن العشرين ألفا ألم اقل لكم اننا لسنا محتوى لعين لتشاهدوه ؟ بل قضية نحاول لوحدنا ان لا نمحى عن

We Dare to Dream is @waadalkateab’s brilliant new film full of hope about the Refugee Olympics Team at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Heart-warming and inspiring it had us on the edge of our seats rooting for these incredibly brave and wonderful young people.

It has been the greatest news in a w while. I hope you will focus on your personal life and not seeing you serving as any position in politics.

“If Assad does make it to the UN climate talks, every handshake and photo opp will be a grave betrayal of victims of atrocities in Syria." Read filmmaker @waadalkateab’s message then sign the petition telling #COP28 hosts the UAE to #UninviteAssad 👇 https://t.co/4Jxl4vhjNh

"Hamas is absolutely engaged in horrific acts... However, we do know as well that war crimes do not constitute & are not an appropriate response for other war crimes," @AOC told me on my @MSNBC show, referencing Israel's blockading and bombing of Gaza: https://t.co/1qipiiZCeC
