Ex UK Newsnight producer, but still working for the BBC, Katie Razall helped with the sympathetic 2016 documentary on the Badreddin family who were brought from Newcastle to Syria. After Omar Badreddin was found not guilty of child sexual assault in 2016 she wrote this: "Omar Badreddin's father, Marwan, in the public gallery, began to cry when he heard the verdict. But when I walked into the Badreddin's home this afternoon, there was little celebration - and the tears they shed were not of joy. The family told me ever since their son's arrest, they have felt humiliated and dishonoured, even though they were certain their son was innocent. In Syrian culture, this type of accusation is so damaging to their reputation, that even though Omar Badreddin has been cleared, they fear the stigma of it will stick." Omar Badreddin is now serving 18 years in prison for multiple child rapes. Will Katie and her fellow BBC 'journalists' be doing a follow up on this story?
