Al Jazeera demands information from Syria on whereabouts of journalist missing since arriving in Damascus on Friday.
Al Jazeera has demanded immediate information from Syria about one of its journalists who has been missing in the country since Friday afternoon.
Dorothy Parvaz left Doha, Qatar, for Syria on Friday to help cover events currently taking place in the country. However, there has been no contact with the 39-year-old since she disembarked from a Qatar Airways flight in Damascus.
Parvaz is an American, Canadian and Iranian citizen. She joined Al Jazeera in 2010 and recently reported on the Japanese earthquake and tsunami for the network.
She graduated from the University of British Columbia, obtained a masters from Arizona University, and held journalism fellowships at both Harvard and Cambridge. She previously worked as a columnist and feature writer for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer in the US.
Even though she worked for the American newspaper the Seattle Post-Intelligencer they make no mention of her disappearance. Is the U.S. State Department doing anything to facilitate her release?
