39. The World is Syrianised with Yassin al-Haj Saleh

The Syrian writer and political theorist, Yassin al-Haj Saleh, has lived a remarkable life. As a student activist affiliated with one of Syria's communist parties, Yassin spent 16 years in Hafez al Assad's prisons.

Then, shortly after the revolution of 2011, Yassin's wife, Samira Khalil, was abucted by the Islamist militia Jaysh al Islam. Samira was also an activist and hasn't been heard from in over ten years.

Yassin was kind enough to speak to us about the fate of his wife and the others abducted, the "Douma 4" and about his thoughts on Syria's past, present and future.
