Release Imprisoned Syrian Journalists

Maybe a poster here can tell us if this will happen instead of this trio continuing to be imprisoned under the horrible conditions in Syrian prisons.

In the run-up to World Press Freedom Day, the Department of State highlighted the cases of several journalists around the world who are being silenced because they exercised their fundamental right to free expression and spoke truth to power.

Mazen Darwish, Hani Zitani and Hussein Ghareer
From Syria, the State Department cited the imprisonment of three important human rights and free expression activists who remain imprisoned by the brutal regime of President Bashar al Assad – Mazen Darwish, Hani Zitani and Hussein Ghareer.

Mazen Darwish is the director of the Syrian Center for Media and Freedom of Expression, a non-governmental organization he founded that specializes in promoting freedom of expression and that also played a key role in disseminating information about daily developments in Syria, including the atrocities committed by the Assad regime. Mr. Darwish and his two colleagues were arrested at their office by regime security forces in February 2012. The three men were held for two years without charge and an additional year without trial after charges were filed. Their trial on the spurious charge of “promoting terrorist acts” has been postponed 22 times.

Our State Dept. missed that boat 4 years ago. And now you expect us to make it 'all good'?

BTW Sally, you've made my list.

I can make you famous!

It is not just americans but syrian and other journalist that have suffered.
American might have been taken by ISIS but Syrian jails have seen journalists from around the region and globe.
Many syrian journalists in jail have been name as international award winner over the decades.

And they are swept out on the tide like well over 2 million Syrian refugees. There comes a point in war when ones profession does not make one special.

It is not just journalists but a free speech issue. The right to speak out about corrupting and abuse. Syria has had a noose on the news and communication of the syrians for decades. Torture, abuse, execution, assassination, use of chemical weapons, mass murders, extortion have been far too common place but no one is supposed to speak about it or try to change things. Journalists are just some of the most noted to try to speak to the syrians and to the world.
Foreign journalist are afforded some protection to speak and against imprisonment without fair trials.

It is noble attempting to support a such a construct, like 'free speech', in a warzone. But not very realistic.

It did not begin as a way zone till four year ago. Even in a war zone the press is supposed to have some protection.

That was then......4 years is a long time in 'war-time'. See the drone images of Aleppo I posted on another thread.

Things cannot change without people thinking asking and speaking freely. Some journalist have been in jail thirty yeas or more, or disappear.
Violence bagan when syria forces attack peaceful protesters. Much of the army left to fight for the free syria movement instead of against them.

Syria is about so much more than religion. The conflict was political in nature in the beginning, though everything in the region has some religion undertone. Mostly it is about Assad.

Promoting terrorist acts is a serious crime that will result in a time in jail in every country.
Freedom of expression in Syria, however, doesn´t need promotion as it is implemented in the constitution.

Article 42

1. Freedom of belief shall be protected in accordance with the law;

2. Every citizen shall have the right to freely and openly express his views whether in writing or orally or by all other means of expression.

For most Syrians it is. If he falls, the stone age will take over the entire country.

I guess the Little Boy must think that all the reporters in many different countries who were jailed for speaking their minds must be terrorists or terrorist supporters. Since he is living in Germany, I wonder how he would feel if Merkel had all those thrown in jail for speaking up against her policies if they didn't agree with them.

Three journalists and who even knows the number held in Syria's horrible prisons for speaking their mind against the regime. In a country where there is no tyrant ruling over the people, individuals are allowed to speak their mind without any harm coming to them. Hmm, wonder if those torture pictures are still hanging in the halls of the U.N. so that people can see what happens in Syrian prisons.

Now let's turn this around since you are basically only posting about Syria on this Middle East forum and have shown the readers that you actually care nothing about what is happening in the other Middle East countries. I think many of the readers will agree that you are actually talking about yourself because you are the puppet of Assad and are echoing your master's words. When countries have freedom of expression, reporters are not imprisoned. Get out of your apartment, travel to Syria, and tell your good buddy to allow freedom of expression for reporters and other civilians so that they can have their say without being thrown into prisons.
