Award-winning Palestinian photographer ‘dies in Syria jail’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAn award-winning Palestinian-Syrian photographer who documented life in the Yarmouk refugee camp in southern Damascus has died after nearly three years in regime detention, his partner says.
Niraz Saied, who himself hailed from the Palestinian camp, was arrested by security forces in October 2015.
His longtime partner, Lamis Alkhateeb, writes on Facebook that Saied died while in detention. He was believed to be 27 years old.
It is not clear how Alkhateeb had learned of Saied’s death, and she has not immediately responded to AFP’s request for additional comment.
