Daniel Saud, leader of the Human Rights Committee, was arrested Friday night from his home in Baniyas, Syria. He was arrested despite the decree through which Syrian president Bashar al Assad put an end last Thursday, to a state of emergency that lasted for 50 years.If the thought of "Security Forces" summons images in your mind of Hollywood movies where 'spies' or 'detainees' are lightly questioned and treated well and then released, think again! According to former detainee all Mukabarat branches have underground cells and torture chambers.
Overnight in Damascus on Sunday Syrian security forces have raided activists' homes and made arrests. On Saturday, security forces fired on protesters who had gathered at the funerals of those who were killed on Friday. Three people were killed in the Barzah neighbourhood of Damascus during a funeral, four mourners were killed during a funeral in Douma and reports indicate six people were killed in Izraa. The crackdown continues.
