Syrian human rights head arrested
2011-04-24
[Bangla Daily Star] The head of the Committees for the Defence of Democracy, Freedoms and Human Rights in Syria was incarcerated yesterday at his home in the northwestern city of Banias, lawyer Khalil Maatouk told AFP.

"Security services incarcerated rights activist Daniel Saud today at his home in Banias and took him to Qazi's guesthouse an undisclosed location," Maatouk said.

The move came after President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad
One of the last of the old-fashioned hereditary iron-fisted fascist dictators. Before going into the family business Pencilneck was an eye doctor...
on Thursday decreed an end to emergency rule, in force in Syria for nearly 50 years.

"This signifies that the security services are continuing to act" as they did before the emergency law was lifted, Maatouk said.
