QAMISHLI, Syrian Kurdistan,
(ekurd.net), — Bafel Ali Ahmed, born 1987 in
Qamishli, in the Kurdish region of Syria was a
student registered in the Faculty of Arts, at
Damascus University. He has been suspended from his
course and evicted from his accommodation there.
Bafel Ali Ahmed was arrested on 5 April 2009 by the
military security forces in Qamishli without a
warrant, for activity in the media with particular
reference to electronic media. He was later
transferred to the Palestine Branch of Military
Security in Damascus, and was released seven weeks
later on 24 May 2009.
According to the organisation for the Defence of
Human Rights and Public Freedoms in Syria [DAD], on
5 October 2009 the Vice-President with
responsibility for Student Affairs and
Administration at Damascus University issued a
decision (resolution no.515) regarding Bafel Ali
Ahmed,www.ekurd.netthat
he be excluded from the University until 15 March
2010.
International Support Kurds in Syria Association –
SKS – would like the international community to
recognise that the Syrian Government uses the
interference of the State in the personal lives of
young political Kurds to intimidate them by:
• arresting them without charge;
• keeping them in confinement for long periods of
time;
• by obstructing their educational opportunities and
thereby their futures.
Bafel Ali Ahmed’s experience is another example of
the use of powers available under the Syrian State
of Emergency previously brought to public attention.
