To the PM: The costs of our gullibility and ignorance re Syria

The letter below was sent to Prime Minister Albanese on 24 January 2025. In it, I refer to the abduction of Professor Rasha Al-Ali from the University of Homs. Reports indicate that Dr Al-Ali’s body has been found and that - either before or after her murder - her fingers were cut off. Her abduction and killing is reminiscent of Margaret Hassan's, who was head of CARE in Baghdad.
