CAIRO: Syrian blogger Razan Ghazzawi was released by authorities, her sister Nadine said on her personal Twitter account after a day of speculation on the micro-blogging site.
“It’s raining Razans… hallelujah :) It’s official, sis is out! hopefully the same goes to all arrested sisters and brothers,” she wrote.
The young woman was arrested on her way to Amman to attend a conference on press freedom and media in the Arab world.
Ghazzawi is one of the few writers in Syria to publish under her own name. In her blog, she exposes the human rights abuses crafted at the hands of the brutal Syrian regime, and advocates for freedom of expression and the rights of bloggers and activists.
Her last post, dated December 1, celebrated the release of Syrian blogger Hussein Ghrer, who was in detained by Syrian authorities for 37 days.
“Hussein is going to be home tonight, where he will be holding his wife tight, and never let go of his two precious sons again. It’s all going to be alright, and it will all be over very soon,” she wrote, just days before her own detention. [ read more at link]
