Introduction
Syria has become one of the most dangerous working environments for media activists in light of the ongoing armed conflict. Crimes targeting media activists are being increasingly perpetrated amid a complete and blatant impunity. Media activists are not only being harassed, pursued, arrested, kidnapped, or killed but are also being used as a leverage to gain political advantages, like what ISIS is doing of killing and detaining foreign journalists, or for a substantial ransom.
