Opposition Leader Arrested in Syria
January 30th, 2008 by Nicolas
The arrest of Riad Seif, leader of Syria’s largest opposition coalition, is a “a clear sign that the Assads, once engaged and afforded any sense of legitimacy, tend to misbehave even more not less,” writes Ammar Abdulhamid. He believes the “worst is yet to come” because “thieves and murderers cannot be simply coaxed into changing their ways. Rulers in authoritarian states are often not statesmen and cannot be expected or prevailed upon to behave as such.”
