Democracy Now! interviews Al Jazeera correspondent Dorothy Parvaz, who disappeared for 19 days when she flew to Damascus to cover the Syrian popular uprising at the end of April. Parvaz was jailed in a Syrian prison, where she underwent interrogation and witnessed the abuse of pro-democracy protesters. She was ultimately deported to Iran, where she was detained again and then finally released. Parvaz describes her terrifying detainment and the unfolding human rights crisis in Syria.
