Syria’s Intimidation Tactics
January 29th, 2008 by Sharlina
Itamar Rabinovich at The Daily Star comments on the closing gap of opportunity of an Israeli-Syrian diplomatic relationship, stating that “the main reason is Lebanon, where Syria continues to meddle, intimidate and even kill in order to preserve and restore its position, [which] is totally unacceptable to President George W. Bush, who sees the survival and success of the Siniora government as a high priority.”
In the realm of political reform, Syria has detained its eleventh political prisoner since December, this time it being prominent dissident and former MP Riad Seif. Seif is “reportedly detained for attending a meeting of supporters of democratic reform in Syria.”
