Syrian activists languish in government jails
Tens of thousands of political prisoners are being held without charge or on confessions obtained through torture.
These are the people Putin and Trump and Iran and now the Trumpets in the GOP want to defeat -- people doing what we consider a fundamental right in the US. So much for democracy and human rights.
For the crime of providing food to displaced Aleppans, her friends say, activist Zilal Salhani became one among tens of thousands of political prisoners left to an uncertain fate in Syria's jails.
Arrested at 19 by regime forces in Aleppo in July 2012, Salhani has now spent her university years in a series of shadowy government detention centres. She was convicted of supporting "terrorists", but according to friend Mohammad Shbeeb, Salhani was always peaceful.
Before her detention, the Free Syrian Army had recently taken certain areas in and around Aleppo, prompting retaliatory government air strikes. Salhani, an engineering student who had been an active participant in civil demonstrations against the government of President Bashar al-Assad, took food to those displaced by the heavy fighting and helped them to find shelter.
"Civilian activists who took to the street at the beginning of the revolution were considered by the regime as very dangerous people, because they were against using weapons and tried to keep the resistance peaceful despite the regime trying to militarise it," said Kareem Hourani, a member of the Detainees Voice activist group.

How? They'll just retreat from the Ukraine and Crimea if he lifts the embargos?

Probably NOT teaming up with the Russians and Iran to support the Syrian regime committing the atrocities.
Instead of cheering them on.
Real people. Real problems.

I certainly get suspicious when somebody who doesn't seem to have a clue about how Russian expansionism over the last seven years has worked starts making excuses for the occupation of a nation that declared its independence in 1991.
(On the other hand, the spectacle of somebody who only pays any attention to ideologically slanted news he agrees with complaining about less appealing biases elsewhere in the media is pathetic, rather than suspicious.)
