Arrests:

1. Al Rabee’ AlArabi district (Tareeq AlBab)- Campaign of raids and the arrest of twelve people, some of which are:
Eido Blaya, Masto Blaya, Sefo Blaya, Tareq Blaya, Mohammad Blaya, Maher Blaya and their cousins.

* The continued detention of the two students-
- Ashraf Khateeb, fifth year Medical student
- Ali Nabhan, fourh year Electrical engineering student

From Friday evening, 10/05/2012, near the common park after the explosion carried out by the regime near Al Hizb (party) building. Ashraf and Ali were then transferred to the security branch in Damascus city and after parents and family asked about them, the securitys’ response was ‘you have to forget them’. There are real fears that the regime has murdered them during a systemic campaign on the province of Aleppo, in particular the freedom callers of Aleppo University.

We demand human rights organisations and media organisations to highlight the issue of the arrest of Ashraf and Ali and demanding their immediate release from the Syrian authorities and we hold them liable for any harm inflicted upon them. It is worth mentioning that their health status is very bad!:
