Radio Free Syria: Intimidation and Harassment against our Station

Recently, our social media accounts have come under repeated attack (resulting in several of us being banned from posting on Facebook for some 24 hours, allegedly for publishing evidence of Assad's genocide onto our Facebook page), one of our activists has received what can arguably be called harassment by individuals who seem to be from Britain's security services (his family were troubled by them during his time in Syria, where he worked on a popular documentary there), and threats by Assad supporters have been received in the past, many of them directly sent to our (aforementioned) former correspondent in Syria.

We urge our followers to be vigilant, and to keep a look out for a new Radio Free Syria page, in the event that this one suddenly disappears.

If such harassment of our activists continues, the activist in question is threatening to publish the mobile phone number of one of the individuals in question (the other number was withheld by the caller) who sent him calls and messages, as well as contact the police. He has rejected any meetings with them, and urged respect for his privacy. Thanks for your attention.
