Dear all,
I am very deeply saddened to share the news of the passing of our fellow community member Bassel Khartabil, also known to some as Bassel Safadi.
Bassel was detained on March 15, 2012 amid arrests on the one-year anniversary of the Syrian uprising. He had been missing since October 2015, when he was removed from the Syrian prison where he was being held. His wife, Noura, confirmed earlier today in a statement on Facebook that he was executed by the Syrian government shortly after his disappearance.
Sorry to hear that.
