About
This Blog is created to help release Michel Kilo the Syrian political writer/journalist/analyst who was arrested unjustfully by the Syrian Authority just for writing expressing his moderate opinion. He had always being very patriotic and always looks for the well being of the country.
Other people are being arrested in Syria for no reason except to destroy the internal opposition and terrorize people into not even trying to whisper their views. Syrians are smarter than that and they won’t accept this crackdown, it is time for authorities to realize that we are in 2006 and not in the 70s or 80s.
Lebanon last year succeeded in changing the status-quo and it is time to prepare to do it in Syria.
Syria and Lebanon are inseparable but not like the syrian authorities would like to have it: united in misery and living through permanent Tension and us against the world mentality, thus exploiting the people and blaming everyone else for our problems and weaknesses while the rulers are enjoying Power and Wealth and corruption.
Syria and Lebanon should share the same values of Democracy, free Speech, Education, Free Market, etc not empty slogans but realities. Enough Wars and confrotations and empty rethorics. Time to rise politically like other opressed nations did in the past (Eastern Europe, Latin America), and economically like Europe and the rest of Asia (China, India, the Asian tigers). Syria deservers to be like any other prosperous country in Europe.
Prosperity and Freedom and Time for Syria to become a proud nation again, along with Lebanon and other Arabic nations.
Signed

Hi Michel; Have heard of a Syrian by the name of Maher Arrar
who’s presently a Canadian Citizen shipped to Syria via Jordan by the U.S. authorities, he claims he was whipped and also tortured while in Syrian prison. Surely you must have heard about him, well he is back in Canada.
In your own honest opinion: Do you think he was really and truly
tortured?

Hello Frank,
I am not Michel, I am Fares (the blog is mine)…Anyway, your question implies that Maher is lying about what happened to him in Syrian prisons. I can assure you that no Syrian living in Canada would make up a false claim like that if it was not true. Syrian Regime use torture specially for VIP prisoners with special attention, and the US sent him so the more they beat him up the more they get favors. It does not only happen in Syrian prisons, torture happens all over the middle east.
Anyway I covered him in this blog “USA, Syria accomplices in torture”

hi “faresse al huriya”,
i found ur blog by coincidance when i was looking abt May 6 so i found out the article that someone wrote on 6 may 2006. anyway i am happy to see an intersting website far from the external opposition like kadam or muslim brotherhood that are not different from the regime. but i have some coment on ur block and some question abt michel kilo.
1st do u really thing that the new regime in lebanon is good? i dont think so, ofcourse it’s better than rustom but in the same time come and see how the country is run. i beilive in lebanon in it freedom and it liberty but in the same time we have to not forget that lebanon is a creation of france and the way how it border is drawn and it regime was establish is totally wrong. there is more freedom and little democrazy like said al hoss. there is only freedom in lebanon and not democracy. and i beilive if we bring freedom alone syria will not remain more than 1 year. there is only 1 sol that Al Assad changed himself like did Franco in Spain and his successors change the country slowly like King of Spain Juan Carlos. the prb is to find another Juan Carlos. other than that i don’t think there is a way or we will have smth worse than iraq. so or bachar change or we have the hell!
2nd what do u know about the relation between michel kilo and the former chief of political system (Amen al Syeasse) Ba7jat Sleiman? i know from a source (not the mukabarat) that he was taking direct order to speak in the right time and to say that now or later and to who! and when Sleiman left the system miche was lost so he started making mistakes (with the regime according to them). and because his old (sorry to say that) “m3almen” left, the new director started to watch michel since he was consider as ZELMET the previous 1 Bahjat Sleiman! and ofcourse when michel was now without order or advice he did the big move when he signed the article abt lebanon in a very wrong time so he was putted in jail.
i m not saing that he doesn;t beilive to be free ofcouse not. but ur reader have to know all the true abt Kilo since they have the right!
FREE NOT ONLY TO KILO BUT TO AREEF DALELA AND ALL THE OTHER PREASONERS

fares i think you have a better chance becoming a billionair in you r life time wining a lottery or robbing a mega bank than to change the status que
do you want another iraq? our people need to be educated and tolarent of one another different faith and life style can they i doubt it we need to teach people to learn how to live side by side assads will come and go
it is the people and the people do not fully understand the meaning of democracy thier idea of democracy is to allow their kind of people to rule the country

i love my country do not get me wrong , but i think that it is helpless for a number of reason
one of the biggest problem is not the goverment it is the people .
people in syria will not vote for a person based on how good is he going to be for the country,but what religion or sect he belongs to .
once we get over this obsticle then we can talk democracy .
