Season 2 of The Syria Trials tracks the story of Brigadier General Khaled al-Halabi. Over 11 episodes, we tell the story of Halabi’s work within the Syrian intelligence system, his role in violently suppressing the peaceful Revolution and his escape to Europe, after his city fell out of regime control. Throughout the series, we’re asking two key questions: who is Halabi and why hasn’t he been arrested yet?
