Webinar 10: Jailed Revolutionaries: Resistance to Assad's Carceral State
Detention and the prison system in Syria are central pillars of state violence. The Syrian regime created these ‘death worlds’ half a century ago to terrorize the population and maintain the Assad family in power. Since 2011, this underworld was expanded and adapted to crush the rebellion and disappear critical voices. In this webinar, the speakers will talk about the different forms of incarceration in Syria. They will examine gendered violence in prisons and strategies of resistance inside and outside prisons. The panelists will address questions such as: Is it possible to resist inside Syrian prisons? How do survivors begin the process of healing after their released? And how can we support prisoners and their families today?
