Sad news. Agree with everyone here that we should do something.

A Wikipedian, a member of our community sentenced to death for
believing
in
our Mission and Vision is something extraordinary. I understand the
caution
of setting a precedent, but I think it's worth it.
Also, remember: we have few days before we'll ask money again to all
the
English-speaking countries. How could we ask for money when we are not using the power that was bestowed upon us by the very same spirit, love and courage that is condemning Bassel to death?
I strongly support this.
As for the precedent, recall that the Wikimedia Foundation supports the users, we did this with User:Diu in Greece:

This is much more than a lawsuit.
A message I do not want us to send is that if you enough force or the threat is big enough, then we, as a movement, will be scared away.
