Syrian Blogger Sentenced

Tarek Baiassi, whom we’ve written about before, has finally been sentenced, by a Syrian “court” to three years in prison. According to the RSF, the legal-like glass for Tarek’s sentence included “publishing false news” and “weakening national sentiment,” whatever that is. The real reason for the sentence was his having posted an article on the shortcomings of the Syrian secret service on a forum.
Baiassi’s father was incarcerated by the Syrians as a political prisoner.
