DW News published this video item, entitled “The missing face of Syria’s revolution – What happened to Razan Zaitouneh? | DW News” – below is their description.

Ten years ago today, the Arab Spring erupted in Syria. In Daraa, people took to the streets with high hopes for human rights and democracy. But the regime of Bashar al-Assad responded with a brutal crackdown, triggering a war that has cost thousands of lives. Today, we are shining a light on one of the most prominent figures of Syria’s pro-democracy movement — human rights activist Razan Zaitouneh. She was kidnapped by armed men in 2013 and her fate remains unresolved. DW’s investigative unit has been retracing her steps.

DW continues to investigate the disappearance of Razan Zaitouneh and her colleagues. If you have any information regarding their whereabouts or the circumstances of their abduction, you can contact us securely at DW.tips@protonmail.com.
