Hasan al-Kassab (@HasanAlKassab2 on Twitter) was a medical student from Raqqa in 2011, when the protests began. Today, he's a Syrian revolutionary activist living in Romania.
Hasan joins us in this episode to talk about what the revolution was like in Raqqa and other parts of East Syria, located far away from Daraa, Damascus, and Homs.
There's so much more to Raqqa than ISIS and everything else that happened after 2014. Thank you Hasan al-Kassab for telling us your story.
