Bas is studying at Ghent University: History and Arabic Studies. During the first year of his studies, Bas had his wake-up experience. It was an unforgettable event in June of 2015 as a result of watching a video done by the Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth. https://www.ae911truth.org From that moment, Bas was compelled to look deeper. Bas was especially interested to investigate the reality of the Syrian war, resulting in his visit to Syria and anti-war activism.
