4:42 AM
On the tenth anniversary of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's reign Human Rights Watch (HRW) has issued a report in which they accused him doing too little to change his country's long-running history of government. "A review of Syria's record shows a consistent policy of repressing dissent regardless of international or regional developments", Aljazeera.net quotes Human Rights Watch report as saying. State security forces have imprisoned at least 92 human rights activists and 25 bloggers and journalists in the past decade, according to a report released by the HRW on Friday
