Damascus, 26
Sept. (AKI) - Syrian security forces first
surrounded then raided a house where pro-democracy
activists were meeting on Monday, destroying
documents and ordering the gathering's participants
to disperse.
The broken-up meeting had been organised by the
Commission for the Defence of Democratic Freedoms
and Human Rights and was being held in Khan al-Shaykh,
some 20 kilometres south of Damascus.
Human rights organisations in the country condemned
the authorities' action. The president of the Syrian
Centre for Judicial Research, Anwar al-Bunni joined
the criticism, denouncing what he said was "the
excessive means with which the Syrian government
imposes its iron fist on Syrian society and uses
force against human rights and civil society
activists. ""Syria is showing the world it has two
faces, one: Islamic extremism, the other: the regime
of the government," Bunni told Adnkronos
International (AKI).
