Human Rights Developments Defending Human Rights The Role of the International Community No domestic monitors have been able to operate freely inside the country, a state policy that was made clear when authorities arrested CDF members and supporters in 1991-92, and sent the fledgling groups leading activists to prison. In neighboring Lebanon, however, several independent human rights groups actively campaigned in 1998 for the release of Lebanese held in Syrian prisons. These included: the Committee of Parents of Lebanese Detained in Syria, headed by Mrs. Sonia Eid, whose son Jihad disappeared in Lebanon in October 1990; the Committee in Support of Lebanese in Detention (SOLID); the Foundation for Human and Humanitarian Rights; the New Human Rights Foundation; and Multi-Initiative on Rights: Search, Assist and Defend (MIRSAD). |
