SYRIA: DISSIDENTS' LEADER DANIEL SAUD ARRESTED IN BANIYAS

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.

Saud's arrest - his lawyer (Khalil Maatouk) said - "means the security services are still operating". Maatouk is referring to the notorious Syrian intelligence, Mukabarat.
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.

Bahrain: A Woman On A Mission

Zaynab Alkhawaja is the daughter of Abdulhadi al-Khawaja, a prominent Bahraini human rights activist who was arrested and beaten in his home by Bahraini police earlier this month. Her husband, brother-in-law and uncle were also arrested. They were arrested for participating in peaceful protests against the Bahraini regime of King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa. She said she will refuse food until the 4 men are released. She is the 27 year old mother of a one year old baby girl. 

Mrs. al-Khawaja’s mother, Khadija al-Mousawi, on Wednesday wrote a blog entry on behalf of her daughter. “(Zainab) would like to tell everyone that we got news about her father, her husband Wafi Al-Majed, and her brother-in-law Hussein Ahmed as the Ministry of Interior contacted us and asked that we take clothes for them,” she said.
Bahrain authorities have denied allegations of ill treatment made by activists. It is beyond comprehension how these Middle Eastern regime leaders can continuously proclaim that no one is mistreated or tortured (they often even die while in custody) when the pictures are broadcast worldwide and the videos of their aftermath inundate the internet and media.

Human Chain to Spell 'NO FLY ZONE OVER PALESTINE'

As we can see from the picture on the left the Palestinian people (especially the children) are certainly not a people prone to terrorism. These human beings are a people seeking the simple idea of freedom truth and justice in a day to day battle for their survival. "This is but one story but it makes the point that not only memories are embedded in these children forever, each time a jet, a drone or helicopter gunship flies overhead..."

2010 And The Palestinian Cause:
In the beginning of 2010 the world saw international activists protest in Cairo to pressure the Egyptian regime into opening its borders for them to enter Gaza with their aid convoys.

They eventually succeeded and in the following months hundreds of international activists managed to break the siege of Gaza. The most famous of them was the Freedom Flotilla, which had 663 passengers from approximately 40 nationalities. Click To Read More...

2009 And The Palestinian Cause: The year 2009 began with a terrorist war waged against Gaza Strip killing more than 1400 — mostly women and children — wounding more than 5,300 and displacing 50,800 of Gaza’s residents.

The Gaza war is an eye-opener to many. It furnished further evidence of Israel’s aggression and defiance of international laws. It also proved — yet again — the American administration’s bias and full support to the occupation despite the deliberate attacks on civilians, mosques, schools, hospitals, and even UN buildings, not to mention what Israel did to the most important democratic institution of Palestine: the Palestinian Legislative Council. They destroyed it. Click To Read More....

2008 and the Palestinian Cause:  The year 2008 started with an Israeli-Egyptian cooperation that stopped the people of Gaza traveling to Makkah to perform the pilgrimage. It was a year that began with the killing of a 40-year-old woman, who had just come back from Haj, at an Israeli checkpoint in Gaza and ended with killing of more than 400 innocent people.

If we remember, 2008 also started with the promise of a Palestinian state — a promise described by well-known thinker and columnist Fahmi Howaidi as “the New Year’s lie.” The year ended with the same promise/lie but in a much bloodier way. Click to Read More....
