I just found this blog made by a Syrian blogger living in exile in Lebanon called Mohammad Ali Abdallah. You can read his blog by clicking on this link . The Lebanese Daily Star wrote an article about him.

Here is an extract:

“Only 26 years old, Syrian human rights activist Mohammad al-Abdullah has already been imprisoned twice, beaten, and forced into hiding in neighboring Lebanon.

Jail has unfortunately become a defining feature of the Abdullah family, which has been all but splintered by the repeated arrests of its male members because of their calls for political reform in Syria.

When Abdullah’s father Ali was jailed in 2005, the son formed the Committee for Families of Political Prisoners in Syria, only to be himself marched off to a cell two days after the launch. His father received a presidential pardon six months later, along with 190 other political prisoners.

Ali, who has been banned from traveling since 1996, was re-arrested in 2006 and then in December 2007 with 11 other members of the Damascus Declaration, which calls for “democratic and radical change” in Syria. All received 30-month prison sentences“.

 He also has a group on Facebook called Moudawwinoun min Souriya – Bloggers From Syria, this is the link
