Syria, June 27 2006
A Syrian newspaper, though very respectful of official political
line, entitled “Al-Ba’ath” is threatened by judicial reprisals by
the strict and humourless ARAB Syrian Republic (and death to
non-Arabs) for having published a separatist Kurdish symbol.
For the first page of the newspaper published pictures of Soccer
World Cup.
Unfortunately, tricky Kurds enjoy to deploy Kurdish flags front of
the world screens, so after Iran TV, Ba’athist news had to show
these three-coloured nightmare…
Journalists risk serious judicial troubles, and their only
justification is that they were not awared it was the Kurdish flag…
The next time they will ask to mukhabarat (secret services)..
