Escaping Raqqa and ‘Islamic State’

Refugee Samer contributed to the audio diaries Life Inside ‘Islamic State’

In March last year we ran a series of audio diaries kept at great risk by Samer, an activist living inside Raqqa, the capital of the so-called Islamic State.

Samer spent months keeping track of the everyday cruelties in the city - as well as the everyday business of life under Islamic State.

He has now left Raqqa and has been living in refugee camps across Syria. The Âé¶¹Éç’s Mike Thomson has been speaking to him.
