Syrian Activists Demand Justice For Disappeared Colleagues

A woman holds photos of four activists who disappeared during the war between opposition forces and Assad regime, at a protest demanding answers to their whereabouts, in Douma, Syria, Wednesday, Jan.

In Douma, Syria, protesters gathered for a sit-in to demand justice for four activists who were forcibly disappeared in 2013. The fate of Razan Zaitouneh, her husband Wael Hamadeh, Samira Khalil, and Nazem Hammadi remains unknown, creating one of the most haunting mysteries of the country's civil war.

Razan Zaitouneh, a prominent human rights activist, was known for her impartiality in documenting abuses by both the Assad regime and rebel groups. The Violation Documentation Center, where the activists were abducted, was raided by gunmen on Dec. 9, 2013, and they have not been seen or heard from since.
