It's been difficult to verify exactly what is happening in Syria. There are reports that anti-government protests continue despite the Syrian government crackdown. Yesterday Owen Bennett-Jones described why there are no correspondents in the country and why it is difficult to ascertain what is really happening there. What we can do is talk about how the country came to this point. Today, we are going to have some Syrian experts to answer your questions .
What would you like to know? Maybe you have a question about Syrian President Bashar al- Assad or his father before him? Would you like to ask about religion or power structures in the country? What about media there and press freedom? Do you have a question about Syrian society and culture? Or maybe you'd like to give your opinion on Syria and how you see it? Please do get in touch and we'll try our best to answer you.
