RSF: Appeal to Arab League for online journalist jailed two years in inhuman conditions
Via Reporters sans Frontières.
Reporters Without Borders, appalled at the harsh prison conditions of Massud Hamed, who was jailed in July 2003, has appealed to the Secretary General of the Arab League, Amre Moussa, to intervene on his behalf with the Syrian authorities.
Hamed, a 29-year-old journalism student, has been regularly tortured in prison and is now in a very poor state of health.
"Massud Hamed has been subjected to the barbarity of his Syrian jailers for almost two years. His only crime was to have taken photos of a peaceful demonstration and posted them online," the worldwide press freedom organisation said.
