In support of those who refuse to be silenced

The following appeal has been posted by Fares (http://freesyria.wordpress.com/2006/09/13/syrians-refuse-to-be-silenced/). Like him, and like many other Syrian bloggers, I urge all fellow Syrian bloggers everywhere to voice their support for those brave souls.

"The updated high profile Syrian prisoners list include Mahmoud Issa, Michel Kilo, Khalil Hasan, Anwar el Bunni, Suleiman al-Shamar, Ali Abdallah, Mohammed Ali Abdallah, Kamal Labwani, Fateh Jamous, Habib Saleh and Aref Dalila.
It is easy to become complacent and resign oneself to the fact it all seems hopeless. But, at least, in honor of those few who believed that it is NOT hopeless, that this country has a better future beyond corruption and dogma.
We owe it to these prisoners of conscience and we owe it to the future of our country to keep pushing for their release.
We are all Free Syrians and We deserve a fair justice system, free speech and better policies."
