In this thread, it is likely that you do not want to know about Syrian force authorities, if you not pro-rebel. Well-known reporter and former head of the "Damascus Now" news agency Wassam al-Tayr was released from custody after about 8 months in prison without charge.pic.twitter.com/4AtGqWZYMJ
2) Wassam is a well-known person among both supporters and opponents of Assad&gov't. "Damascus Now" during the conflict has become the most popular unofficial info source, over the years quickly delivering relevant and reliable information about the Syrian war, state and society.
3) The reason for his detention is unknown, but perhaps this is due to another shameful story in March 2018, when he was forced to leave media activities and even temporarily close the FB page with about 2 million subscribers under pressure from the Syrian security services.
4) Pro-gov't sources have confirmed that the cause of this pressure was the completely ridiculous accusations of collaborating with militants and "disloyalty." And all this against the background of all that he did in support of the info line of SAA and gov't during the conflict.pic.twitter.com/MMGU5kBsuQ
5) As a result, the final point was that he was not allowed to coverage the Bashar al-Assad’s visit to the liberated Jisreen town in East Ghouta. Perhaps someone will recall publications by Ivan Sidorenko on this subject.pic.twitter.com/MSoEdmNoP9
6) This story is only one of a series of very strange or just shameful episodes of the persecution of pro-government reporters, journalists or even military SAA who have done so much for the survival of those who are now trying to put them in jail on far-fetched pretexts.
