The Syria Monitor

This week's Syria Monitor is now available.  This week's stories include, amongst others: Syrian security arrested prominent human rights lawyer and activist Anwar al-Bunni, as part of a large wave of arrests of several activists, including prominent political activist Michel Kilo, who was detained three days ago; and, the Committee for Syrian National Democratic Action in Europe called for a gathering in front of the Institut du Monde Arabe to protest the Syrian regime's crackdown on freedom of expression and to pressure the regime to free all political prisoners, abolish emergency laws in effect since 1963, and respect international human rights treaties.
