| #1 Freedom of expression and association continued to be severely restricted. Scores of people were arrested and hundreds remained imprisoned for political reasons, including prisoners of conscience and others sentenced after unfair trials. Discriminatory legislation and practices remained in force against women and the Kurdish minority. Torture and ill-treatment in detention continued to be reported and carried out with impunity. Human rights defenders continued to face arrest, harassment and restrictions on their freedom of movement. So the Bush vision is coming true! Only Harry and Nancy can save us! Oh, this is Syria. Don't they have a SCLU? Syrian Civil Liberties Union, of course |
