Uncovering the Truth: Seeking Justice for Syria's Disappeared

Ali Haj Suleiman, an internally displaced photojournalist in northwestern Syria, shares his personal story of his father's disappearance during the war. With over 130,000 forcibly disappeared people in Syria, Ali highlights the uncertainty and despair faced by families who are left without any information or closure. The regime's deliberate concealment of information and the cruel practice of torture further torment the families, who often resort to paying large sums of money to brokers and officers for unreliable information. Despite the lack of international interest and support, Ali continues to wait for his father, refusing to forget or abandon him.
