Hoi, I was so afraid when I read that Bassel has been sentenced to death. I read it on the website of Amnesty International [1]. I blogged about him in the past [2]. I am sad to say that it is him.
Bassel was active as a Wikimedian, he worked towards making information available about Palmyra.
If there is anything that we can do, please let us do this. Thanks, GerardM
