“We also have a right to live!” - Massacre of Alevis in Syria
Sendetermin 27.03.2025 20:00 bis 21:00**Trigger warning: violence, murder, brutal descriptions**
Tamara speaks to Ammar H., a doctor living in Germany from the Syrian village of Al-Sanobar, which was attacked by the Islamist militia HTS at the beginning of March. Over 300 unarmed civilians were murdered in his home village, Ammar's family had to flee into the woods and their house was burnt down. According to Human Rights Watch Syria, 19,000 people have been murdered since the beginning of March and 15,000 more are missing, but most likely dead. Even now, the massacre of Alevis in Syria continues.
Ammar describes how he learned about the massacre, the images that haunt him to this day - and how he sees the Western media's treatment of HTS as trivialization and dangerous distortion. They talk about responsibility in journalism, about justice for the victims and about the pain that remains.
