Mohammed Omar Oso and members of his family were seized from their home in the upscale western Damascus district of Mazzeh, according to militant groups, including the Rally of Artists in Syria, which posted the information on Facebook. Activists have reported a number of arrests and attacks against prominent media and cultural figures since the uprising against President Bashar AssadÂ’s autocratic regime began in March last year. On Friday, the Local Coordination Committees said that prominent independent film producer Orwa Nyrabia had gone missing after going to Damascus airport to catch a flight to Cairo, and was feared to have been arrested. Media and the arts in Syria are heavily controlled by the government in Syria.
