Syria's efforts to limit foreign media coverage of recent events had previously led to the detention of numerous journalists.

On May 2, 2011, Parvaz's family released the following statement:

"'Dorothy Parvaz is a dearly loved daughter, sister and fiancée. We haven't heard from her in four days and believe that she is being held by the Syrian government. Dorothy is a global citizen – she grew up in Iran, UAE, Canada and the United States, where she became a determined journalist.

'She is dedicated to the profession as a force for peace and justice in the world.

She has worked at newspapers across the globe, from Japan to Arizona, from Seattle, Washington, to Doha, Qatar, where she now works for Al Jazeera English online.

'She has always known who she was, whether buying groceries for her grandmother in Tehran or covering the aftermath of the tsunami in Japan.

She is tough and she is a fighter – no doubt, she is stronger than us.

We need to know where she is.

We need to know who is holding her, and that she is comfortable.

She is very loved.

We need to know that she is safe.'"
