Anwar al-Bunni A Syrian human rights activist has been jailed for five years for spreading hostile information and joining an illegal political group, lawyers say.PELOSI SHOULD BE CHARGED WITH THE SAME CRIMES! HEH. IN MY DREAMS!
Anwar al-Bunni, a prominent advocate for democratic reform in Syria, has been in detention since May 2006.
Correspondents say the heavy sentence sends a strong warning to the opposition and shows Syria has turned its back on Western pressure to reform.
The court convicted him of spreading false or exaggerated news that could weaken national morale, affiliating with an unlicensed political association with an international nature, discrediting state institutions and contacting a foreign country, his lawyer Khalil Matouk said.
Bunni told the court he was proud of what he was doing.
"I didn't commit any crime. This sentence is to shut me up and to stop the effort to expose human rights violations in Syria," he said, according to Reuters.
MEANWHILE, IN THE REAL WORLD, IT JUST BOGGLES MY MINDS THAT THE LEFTIES LIKE PELOSI AND SHEEHAN LIKE TO CUDDLE WITH ASSAD AND CHAVEZ - THE REAL TYRANTS - AS THEY CALL BUSH A FASCIST!
WHAT IDIOTS!
