‘Islamic State’s’ Most Wanted

Available for over a year

Chloe Hadjimatheou tells the astonishing story of a group of young men from Raqqa, Syria, who chose to resist the so-called Islamic State, which occupied their city in 2014 and made it the capital of their ‘Caliphate’. These extraordinary activists have risked everything to oppose ISIS; several have been killed, or had family members murdered. ISIS has put a bounty on the resistance leaders’ heads forcing them to go into hiding. But the group continues its work, under the banner Raqqa Is Being Slaughtered Silently. Chloe meets the group’s founders, who are now organising undercover activists in Raqqa from the relative safety of other countries.
