Hama citizens mark the 43rd anniversary of the massacre in Syria

February marks the anniversary of one of the most brutal incidents in Syria’s history, the Hama Massacre of the 1980s. A violent crackdown by Hafez al-Assad, the father of Bashar al-Assad, resulted in tens of thousands of deaths. For decades, their stories were silenced. Today, survivors from Hama are speaking out, remembering those lost, and demanding justice. Noor Qormosh reports from Hama, Syria.
