A series of chasing Syrian
media activists and Journalists in north Syrian to be continued by the radical
Islamist group, The State of Iraq and The Levant (ISIL).
ISIL stormed
Kafranbel Media center in Idlib province Saturday night and had arrested 6
activists after looting the equipment and all electronic stuff.
Kafranbel town has become the creative center
of the revolt against Bashar al-Assad. Since the beginning of the uprising on
March 2011, the residents of Kafranbel have drawn signs that skewer the Assad
regime and express outrage that the world has not done more to stop the killing
in Syria, according to –Occupied- Liberated Kafranel website, as most placards
used to mention.
Recent 5 days Al-Qaeda prodigal-group has
kidnapped 8 media activists the last one was the prominent Journalist Milad
Shehabi in Aleppo, days before arresting
7 media activists from Shada al-Hourriyah
Satellite channel bureau in Aleppo.
Syria is most
dangerous country for media in 2013 where 19 journalists have been killed, in addition at least 18 foreign and 20
Syrian journalists are believed to be missing in the country after being
detained or kidnapped there, the International News Safety Institute (INSI)
said.
In recent
months, ISIL has gained increasing control in Aleppo and its countryside.
ISIL is
considered one of the most extremist and intolerant groups currently involved
in the fighting against Bashar Assad, even in comparison to the other rebel
group linked to al-Qaeda, Jabhat al-Nusra.
The group’s
gains have underscored growing infighting among rebel factions seeking to
oust Assad. A recent takeover of
opposition warehouses by ISIL members spurred the US and UK to announce they
would suspend the nonlethal aid they had been providing to Syrian rebels.
Overall the
Syrian death total was down from 28 in 2012, but abductions of both foreign and
local reporters increased, leading many international news organizations to
stop sending journalists to cover the conflict.
Syria's armed
uprising began as a series of peaceful democracy protests 33 months ago but
escalated into a full-blown civil war after Assad's regime launched a brutal
crackdown on dissent.
The conflict
is estimated to have killed around 126,000 people and displaced millions more.
