Syria in case you were unaware is the country where hundreds of intellectuals are forbidden to travel, 150,000 have gone into exile and 17,000 have either disappeared or been imprisoned for expressing their opinion.
It is ruled by an oppressive torturing regime which has been described as Brutal but also Stupid.

Women both individually and collectively are playing an increasing and vital role in the Arab Spring. More Power to Them.
