Paolo Dall'Oglio

'''Paolo Dall'Oglio''' (born November 17, 1954) is an Italian Jesuit priest and peace activist. He was exiled from Syria by the government in 2012 for meeting with members of the opposition and criticizing the alleged actions of the Syrian government during the Syrian civil war. He was kidnapped by Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant on 29 July 2013.

Before his kidnapping, he had served for three decades at the Deir Mar Musa Al-Abashi, a 6th-century monastery north of Damascus. He has been credited with the reconstruction of the Mar Musa complex and its reinvention as a centre of interfaith dialogue.

In February 2019, news emerged that he may still be alive inside Deir ez-Zor Governorate, Syria. Provided by Wikipedia
