In this lecture, Professor Stafford Smith looks at current challenges and opportunities in Syria. He has visited Syria mainly to help Camp Roj and Camp Al-Hol prisoners (including Shamima Begum and 60,000 others), while also dealing with Syrian opposition group Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), when they imprisoned and tortured some of his clients. Now in power, HTS are facing the consequences of years of civil war. What are the challenges and what can advocates do to help them?
