Confirmation in Arabic.

***

We discovered, through MidEast Youth, that journalist and blogger, Osama Edward Mousa, has been arrested by the Syrian authorities.

No one knows where he was taken or where he’s exactly imprisoned within Damascus, and his friends and family fear that he is undergoing torture. Osama is an Assyrian Christian. Apparently he was arrested directly due to content on his blog, where he criticized the Syrian government and its economic policies.

Can anyone confirm this?
