I just found out through Yazan’s post and some other bloggers at Syria Planet that Yazan Badran ’s parents passed away. I am still not sure what happened in what kind of circumstances. Yazan is a great young guy, very active in global voices and Syria planet, not to mention full of energy and rebellion. I got to know him through his posts and the exchanges we had in many blogs. He has a great heart!
It is very devastating to hear such incredible fatal news and I don’t know what to say…
Yazan we are all with you through these dificult times, must be very tragic indeed just to hear about it. Hang in there. Our deepest condoleances…

Dear Maureen,
I have not checked my fares email in a while…sure you can add my name.
I know you believe in what you are doing and it is great to have people dedicating themselves to human rights causes…I am just having a lot of confusion and I don’t know what the solution is to the many problems that we have. I feel helpless and I know that the blog is just preaching to the choir.
It is blocked in Syria and only people who read English know what I am talking about but in Syrian politics people stick to their positions regardless of what some people preach.
Anyway it is a very messy game and I tried with everything I can and there were no results but a lot of frustration. What pisses me off is that the US is really enjoying the Syrian role in the region and all the problems which they cause (the Syrian officials can’t fart without the blessing of the US and Israel) so the key to solving all the problems is the US and if they really wanted the Syrian prisoners to be free they can have that in 5 minutes.
Keep up the fight and best of luck
Fares
