79-year-old lawyer jailed in Syria
7:37 AM
79-year-old lawyer Haitham Maleh has been sentenced by a Syrian military court for three years in a jail on charges of "weakening national morale". "This is tragic. Haitham Maleh is an old and ill man," Alarabiya.net quotes one of the lawyers as saying. In the 1980s Haitham Maleh spent six years as a political prisoner without right to leave Syria. The lawyer was awarded the Dutch Geuzen Medal in 2006, named after resistance movement against the Nazis. Numerous international organizations and Western authorities have been calling for his release. Maleh was detained last year after he stepped up criticism of corruption and the emergency law, which was imposed by the ruling Baath Party after it took power in 1963, banning any opposition activity.
