Syrian opposition member attacked in Berlin
Green Party and Syrian opposition! A perfect example of Blair's Law in action:"the ongoing process by which the world's multiple idiocies are becoming one giant, useless force" A Green Party politician and Syrian opposition activist has been attacked and injured in an assault in Berlin. Authorities are looking into whether the attackers had links with the Syrian secret services. German police say a local politician in Berlin who is active in the Syrian opposition has been injured in an attack by two men in his home. The Green Party said it suspected the Syrian secret services of being behind the attack on Ferhad Ahma, who represents the party on a Berlin district council. Ahma is also a member of the Syrian National Council, an opposition coalition group. Police said the 37-year-old Ahma suffered serious bruises and other wounds in the attack, but declined medical treatment. Attack with metal bars In a statement, the Greens said two men claiming to be policemen came to Ahma's flat at around 2 a.m. on Monday and beat him with metal bars and clubs when he opened the door. The party said the attackers' Arab appearance and the fact that Ahma had received previous threats led it to conclude that the attackers had links to the regime in Damascus. Police say it is still unclear who carried out the attack. Posted by: tipper 2011-12-27 |
