Activists published a petition on the internet calling for the immediate release of the Palestinian Syrian young man “Basil Khartabeil Safadi,” in fear of his life to be field trial in the regime’s prisons, following the confirmation of his lawyer wife,” Nora Ghazi” to a media source, that her husband was transferred days before from Adra prison to an unknown destination.
The petition said that Bassel Safadi spent most of the duration of his detention until the date of his transfer to an unknown destination, which is three years and seven months, in Adra prison. Â Safadi is a blogger and IT technician and a leader in Creative Commons in Syria and activist in projects such as (Mozilla, Firefox, and Wikipedia). All those who knew al Safadi agreed that he stands behind the widespread of the internet and the wide horizons of knowledge access in Syria.
Signatories to the petition said that: “We fear for the safety of Basel. We are greatly concerned about his fate after he became uncertain and we demand the immediate release of our friend”.
It is noteworthy that the Syrian security forces continue to arrest more than 1,500 Palestinian Syrian refugees; the AGPS documented 976 detainees, noting that many families of the detainees are reticent about them for fear of reprisals from the regime of their children in prisons.
