Hardly surprising, but nonetheless outrageous:
A Syrian human rights activist was arrested last month in Damascus after writing articles critical of the government, the National Organisation for Human Rights in Syria (NOHRS) said on Thursday.
"Badih Dak al-Bab was summoned by the military security services on March 2 in Damascus. NOHRS was informed yesterday that he has been imprisoned in a security facility and that no one is allowed to visit him," a statement said.
"Dak al-Bab has been summoned several times for questioning on the activities of NOHRS, on his key role in defending (free) expression and on his articles published in Arab newspapers, of which the last criticised the Syrian Information Minister Mohsen Bilal," the statement added.
And therein lies the mistake: going after the Information Minister directly. Speak truth to power and power decides to stick you in solitary.
