Seychelles' Prisons and Graffiti in Syria

From Our Own Correspondent

Available for over a year

In this edition Anthony Denselow travels to the Seychelles in search of pirates. Among the glitz and glamour of the Islands' luxury resorts he finds a very different kind of gated community - the type that you can't escape! In Jordan, Nigel Wilson meets a young boy who believes that his anti-Assad graffiti triggered the uprising in his home country. The violence that has taken place in Syria since then has resulted in the deaths of several of the boy's family members - so does he regret those scribblings now?
