📣 Some news about me:
Yesterday (Wednesday) I was detained by police in Istanbul, held for 17 hours and then deported from Turkey to the UK. Told I was “a threat to public order”. In the country I lived in - and love.
Journalism is not a crime.
Here’s the BBC’s statement:

[Mike Thomson @ThomsonRadio]

@marklowen What a horrible experience Mark! It says so much about what things have come to in Turkey.

[Hussam Hammoud | حسام @HussamHamoud]

For clarification: This letter is a request from the Director of Religious Affairs in Damascus to the Minister of Religious Affairs, asking and urging the implementation of such measures.
This is NOT an official decision but rather a formal request for action.

[Syrian Emergency Task Force @syrianetf]

‘You could see it in the satellite imagery—parallel lines of mass graves.’

@SoccerMouaz on NPR with @Rsherlock, revealing the Assad regime’s attempt to hide its crimes after key testimony before the U.S. Congress.

The truth is out. Justice must follow. #Syria #MassGraves #EndImpunity

Listen to the full episode: https://t.co/dVbehyOuw9

[Wafa Ali Mustafa @WafaMustafa9]

Still in #Syria searching for my father.
Thousands of families are searching for loved ones, desperate for any piece of information.

For years, the Assad regime denied our pain, denied our demands, and gaslit us about their arrests.

We won’t be silent. We demand the full truth

@BowenBBC That's good as a whole .
