Syrian dissident jailed

I was thrilled to hear that my source’s husband in Syria has been jailed for organising demonstrations against Assad regime, yet content to hear he was alive. Houda Kassoum whom I’ve written about a few times for Radikal gave me this unexpected call last week telling me how happy she is to see her husband alive at Damascus prison. By the way, I see the need to emphasise once again that she’s OK with publicly sharing her name and surname.
