[Vittoria @vitt2tsnoc]

Gisèle Pelicot waived anonymity in a mass rape trial, so that "macho, patriarchal society that trivialises rape" could change. Her courage unfathomable, no honour too great, she stood up for ALL women, changed history and yet Time's Person of the Year is a male sexual assaulter:

Mazen's funeral in Damascus today - the funeral of a hero.

In the first photo I can also see posters of Yahya Shurbaji & Islam Dabbas, 2 of the Daraya activists who gave roses to soldiers, & were arrested in 2011. We believe regime executed them in 2013 but there are no bodies.

Very powerful. Syrian journalist @dimaizzedin is back in Damascus after 14 years of exile. She can't stop her tears while reading the news.

My God.

@clarissaward & her team find a prisoner still in #Assad’s Air Force Intel HQ in #Damascus, abandoned alone in a cell. 2 days after the prison was thought to have been emptied.

Watch this.

"Syria is free."

Extraordinary moment as @clarissaward and her team witness a Syrian prisoner freed from a secret prison in Damascus.

Left alone for days without food, water or light, the man was unaware Bashar al-Assad's regime had fallen.

Speaking with Anderson Cooper in her last report from Homs, American journalist Marie Colvin called the war in Syria the worst conflict she had ever covered.

Shortly after, her and French photojournalist Rémi Ochlik were assassinated by the Assad regime.

We will never forget.

TV Presenter poses an unprecedented question to an elderly Syrian woman:

"You lived in the era of Hafez Al-Assad and Bashar Al-Assad, what do you have to say?"

"F**k both of them".
