 Radwan call his message, ''My Legal Advocacy,'' after the systematic campaign to assault his repetition.

Assad's intelligence intended to make my arrest a criminal matter than being a political, Radwan said, they invented a fake case that I attempted to murder a 'hustler man', who's already cooperated with the security. The Judge noticed that and freed me with apology.

 ''The main reason for arresting me twice is my series,'' Radwan said. 'Al-Weladah Min al-Khasera' the name of the TV-drama series has focused via its third season on the Syrian uprising, pointing the fingers to the bad role of Security forces, and their abuses which contributed in escalating and deepening the conflict, as well as, it highlighted the corruption and regime's suppression.

 Assad's intelligence had banned broadcasting the soap opera of in the public coffee shops of Lattakia, Assad homeland, activist reported to Zaman Alwasl.

 The evening show turned to be in past Ramadan, Muslims Holy month,  a time for mass watching in the public café's what raised fears form the security  agents from an imminent protests.

 Syrian dramatists used to have combination of self-censorship and tight official restrictions but Radwan had broken this equation.

 "There is no way to write the truth about what is going on. If you wrote something balanced between the pro-regime and the protesters, it would be killed by the government censor; the only acceptable work would be pro-regime propaganda," according to dramatists.
