Syria has become the most dangerous country in the world for journalists; more than a hundred journalists have been killed over the course of the conflict that is now in its sixth year.

The number of journalists kidnapped in Syria was unprecedented, reaching its peak in 2013 with almost one journalist kidnapped every week. Since then, the numbers of killed and kidnapped journalists in Syria have dropped, but these figures are misleading, “There are simply less journalists left in the country to be killed or kidnapped”
