NGO: Nephews of Syria Vice President Arrested
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Two nephews of Syrian Vice President Faruq al-Sharaa have been arrested along with five of their friends over their support for democratic change, a monitoring group said on Thursday.
"University professor Zaydun Zohbi, 38, and his brother Suhaib, who are nephews of Faruq al-Sharaa, and five of their friends, activists in favor of peaceful change in Syria, were arrested at a cafe on December 15 by members of the military intelligence," said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
The Observatory, which depends on a large network of activists and doctors across Syria for its information, demanded their "immediate" release and that of "all civilian and military prisoners".
The arrests come after the vice president said in comments published on Monday that he favors a negotiated solution to Syria's bloody uprising, a position at odds with President Bashar Assad.
Sharaa, the most prominent Sunni Muslim official in the Alawite minority dominated regime of Assad, also told the Lebanese newspaper al-Akhbar that a clear winner was unlikely to emerge from the conflict.
The Center for Documentation of Violations in Syria, which is close to the opposition, says there are nearly 35,000 people held in jails across the war-torn country by the Assad regime.
Sharaa, 74, has served the regime for decades, both under Assad and his father and predecessor Hafez, but has been seen in public only a few times since the uprising erupted in March 2011.

mow, why am I not surprised your advise is "dont trust your brain" you've been practicing it for so long and you think it works. The big disembodied turbaned head from the big screen has trained you well "dont trust your brain, trust what I tell you, and jump, jump, thump, thump, lumps and bumps!".

the filthy zionist scum trash and filth says "i don't think" and than he continues saying something retarded as always.
if he just ended his sentence with "i don't think" i would be the only true thing he ever said.

whose fault ? lol ..... you are so naive to think that the disproportionate response from the regime you love to shell entire villages wouldn t lead to that? you naively believe syrians would say amen to the killings from their own gvt like if they were foreign enemies? you truly believe that people would let themselves get shot like rabbits without reacting?
i have seen those footages you are talking about, i strongly disapprove them but the responsability of this situation lies in the hands of a regime that oppressed its citizens for decades... seems you forgot what they are capable of? never heard of the horrors they did in lebanon? LOL!
poor mowaten and your naive thoughts....
