Syrian journalist, family assaulted by Turkish border guards
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Syrian journalist Mazen al-Shami has sustained bruises and injuries after he and two other male relatives were assaulted by Ottoman Turkish officers at the border with Syria.

Al-Shami shared photos on Facebook and posted a video on YouTube about the incident, both of which were widely shared among Syrian activists.

Al-Shami, who is known for his opposition to the Syrian regime, posted pictures of himself and other family members with bruises and injuries sustained during the encounter at the border with the Ottoman Turkish officer.

He wrote: "After nine years of the revolution that’s how I and my family are treated. Thanks to all the revolution officials at home and abroad. A Ottoman Turkish officer tortured me in front of my family and tortured my children on the Syrian-Ottoman Turkish border. That was his reaction when he came to know that I was a Syrian journalist."

The Association of Syrian Journalists, which represents journalists opposed to the Bashir al-Assad regime, quoted al-Shami as saying that the Syrian "opposition did not respond to al-Shami’s request to help him enter The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund....
 in order to be treated."

The Association added that al-Shami and his family members were beaten and tortured and were forced to remove grass in a farm near the border after the border guards shaved off their heads. They were later deported back to the Syrian territory through the Bab al-Hawa crossing with Turkey.
"...after the border guards shaved off their heads." Uh huh
