Syrian dissident Ammar Abdulhamid’s Freedom Collection interview provides a compelling look inside his troubled homeland. We were very fortunate to interview him for a second time and learn about more recent developments in his country. We are now pleased to post a recently recorded second set of interviews with Ammar, to hear his perspectives on Syria’s bloody civil war, steps that must be taken to end the violence, and building a sustainable democracy. Ammar is a Syrian human rights activist who founded the Tharwa Foundation in 2003, a grassroots organization that enlists local activists and citizen journalists to document conditions in Syria. In response to his activities, the Syrian government subjected Ammar to repeat interrogation and threats. He now lives in exile with his family, but remains one of the leading bloggers on events in Syria.
Watch Ammar’s updated interview here.
