The Observatory (a joint programme of the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) andthe World Organisation Against Torture) has learned of the acquittal of Mr Walid Al Bunni, a member of the Association of Human Rights in Syria and member of the National Council of the Damascus Declaration for Democratic National Change (NCDD). The Observatory remains deeply concerned by Mr. Al Bunni's ongoing arbitrary detention and the continued judicial harassment he faces in prison, which seems intended to punish him for his human rights activities.
