Syrian activist and documenter of rights violations Razan Zeitouneh – outspoken, courageous, impartial, and secular – was kidnapped on 9 December 2013, alongside her husband, Wa'el Hamade, and colleagues Samira Al Khalil and Nazem Al Hamadi. The four, since called 'The Douma Four', after the city in Eastern Ghouta in which they were working, have been missing ever since.
