Who Betrayed Hevrin Khalaf?

Yalda Hakim travels to Syria to investigate the death of Hevrin Khalaf, a rising star of Syrian democratic politics who battled for freedom and empowerment.

In October 2019 a rising star of Syrian democratic politics, 34 year-old Hevrin Khalaf, was brutally murdered in the Kurdish-governed north-east of the country. Yalda Hakim travels to Syria to investigate this young woman's killing and her battle for freedom and empowerment. Hevrin's colleagues believe her death was the result of President Trump's withdrawal of support for the Kurds, who were a key American ally in the defeat of the so called Islamic State group.
