Hi again,<br><br>I second Qusai's view on that and I certainly believe that direct communication with them is quite risky for them unless they take extra precautionary measures (Technical Tech guide useful here).<br><br>
As for your last question Salanieta on the rule of law in Syria, this is the answer:<br><blockquote><blockquote style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;" class="gmail_quote">
Well I don't think the rule of law even exists in here or even used to
exist. <br>before the revolution, bribery used to change anything in
the law , it could release a murderer and set him free , what can be
worse than that ?<br>nowadays I don't think that anyone related to
the government or the government it self follows anything related to the
law by just looking at the way of treating it's people own people.<br>When
The President Assad started what he call "The Reform Campaign" he canceled a law that's called "Emergency Law" and he made a new law
witch took Emergency Law's place and he called it "<span lang="en"><span>Anti-Terrorism
Act" قانون مكافحة الإرهاب.</span></span><br><span lang="en"><span></span></span>That's clearly makes
each and everyone who participate in protesting or joining the
revolution a "Terrorist".<br>On Syria news channel after they have
been forced to admit that the people are protesting in the country,
whenever people protest they call them Terrorists or Armed Terrorists On
TV.<br>After the President canceled "The Emergency Law" it just
became more worse , They started to Arrest like 100 or more at once
without any warning in different areas in Syria.<br>I think its so
obvious to know that the rule of law doesn't exist in here.<br>If
you want some explanation about "The Emergency Law" you can find in

Dear All:<br>The situation in Syria for all Internet activists is grief and dangerous. They are currently the only source of information about what is going on in Syria (beside government sources). Actually they are<br>the only source of information even for world media after the restrictions imposed on journalists.<br>
<br>They are doing a wonderful job on providing details of events and publishing photos and you tube clips which are all published and broadcasted by world media. Although they are acting with courage and without fear, they are performing their activities under severe circumstances and life threatening situation. Having someone from them talking about the situation in Syria may be too risky for them and will endanger their safety. We should avoid that although we are keen to hear from them.<br>
<br>An alternative is to seek a Syrian activists who is outside of Syria and in contact with Internet activists inside Syria to tell us about the situation.<br><br>Regards,<br><font color="#888888"><br>Qusai <br></font><div>
