After Dictatorship: Will Syrians Embrace a Free, Democratic, and Prosperous Future?

May 26, 2025
16:30-17:30

Toppling a dictator is only step one in the fight for freedom and democracy. So often what comes next falls short of human rights advocates' hopes to secure personal freedoms, participatory democracy, and equality under the law. Join this session to learn how influential, pro-democracy Syrians and scholars are working tirelessly to secure a better future for Syria and why they are cautiously optimistic that a future of peace and prosperity will be achieved.
