DAMASCUS, Feb 13
(KUNA) -- The Syrian Higher National Security
Tribunal on Monday handed down wide-ranging
sentences to several Kurds found guilty of belonging
to the banned United Kurdistan Democratic Party.
According to the head of a Syrian law research and
studies firm, Anwar Al-Bunni, the Kurds included
Nejad Mahmoud Abdallah, a Kurdish Iranian, who was
sentenced to seven and a half years on charges of
conspiring to expropriate Syrian land for the
purpose of adding it to foreign land and an Iraqi
Kurd, Jawad Atark, who was sentenced to three years
as well as Jawan Shamseddine Ibrahim, a Syrian Kurd,
who was sentenced for two years for the same charge.
The tribunal postponed to March 16 proceedings
against the spokesman for the opposition party, the
Democratic National Gathering, Hassan Abdel-Azeem.
On that day, he would receive a sentence after his
defense attorney made a presentation on behalf of
his client.
"The Syrian authorities are determined to continue
to repress public freedom and use emergency laws
against political and opposition activists," Al-Bunni
said.
