![]() The rights organization expressed deep concern for the "unjust" sentences handed down by the security court and called on the Syrian authorities to release all political detainees. The non-governmental rights watchdog said the secret association referred to was the Islamic Liberation Party. The group, previously unheard of in Syria, is not believed to have links with the organization of the same name that has been active in the United Kingdom, Egypt and Jordan, where it was founded in 1953. |
