All,
A Syrian Wikimedian has reportedly been sentenced to death by the Syrian government. There's discussion of a possible banner to support him at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Banner:Free_Bassel. I encourage you to all get involved and add your input to the banners, or share your thoughts on the talk page about which banner would be best.
All the best,
Richard Symonds Wikimedia UK 0207 065 0992
