Beirut - Georges Chahine

One of the four female activists nicknamed the ‘Syrian Brides of Freedom’ has gathered a following after posted her prison experiences on Facebook. Lobna and Kinda Zaoor, Reema Daly and Roa Jaffar rose to notoriety after they stood in the middle of Damascus wearing brides’ dresses, raising red banners that carried peaceful slogans. The Syrian activists criticized the bloodshed in Syria, and a large number of Syrian people rallied around them. However, the Syrian security forces interfered and imprisoned the four young women for 50 days. Lobna Zaoor recorded some of her memoirs on her Facebook page, prompting a large number of Syria’s revolutionary manifestos to publish her words. Arabs Today publishes some of what Zaoor wrote below. “They led us to one of the barracks near to Medhat Pasha Market to conduct an investigation in to the slogans on the banners that we raised.  The investigations continued for 16 hours. They asked about the reason of our strike and who pushed us to do so. They also asked how much they paid for us.” She added that police insulted them in an attempt to intimidate and terrorize them. She met with a number of Syrian women and activists, including Hend Megally, who had shared similar experiuences. “The investigators tortured a number of prisoners brutality in front of us. Police told us that we would remain in the prison for 20 days, but that was later changed to a year.” The Syrian authorities recently released the four activists in an exchange deal.
