Rare Visit by Foreign Journalist to Syria: Seeing the Protests Up Close
CBC reporter Margaret Evans just returned from a visit to Syria.
She’s one of the few foreign journalists who’s been granted access by the Assad regime since protests began there last March.
Margaret chats with host Marco Werman about what she saw and who she spoke to in Syria and then introduces a radio piece she reported from a town south of Damascus.
