Syrian writer and human rights activist
Ali al-Abdallah (Arabic: علي العبد الله) is a Syrian writer and human rights activist.[1][2]
He was arrested in Syria in March 2006.[2][3] He was again arrested and jailed in 2007 after trying to revive the Damascus Declaration.[1][4] He was released from Adra Prison on June 23, 2010, and re-imprisoned one day later for writing an article that was critical of Syria's ties with Iran.[1][5] A Syrian military court charged him with weakening national morale.[5] The United States asked Syria to free him.[6]
Amnesty International declared him a prisoner of conscience, "held solely for the peaceful expression of his beliefs", and called for his immediate release.[7]
