The Syrian Human Rights Committee (SHRC) welcomed the decision made by the judge at the Justice Palace in Damascus (on Thursday 19/10/2006) to release the writer Michel Kilo (66 years) from prison, but his trial will continue to operate whilst he is free. Mr. Kilo was arrested on the 12/05/2006 for signing the Beirut - Damascus Declaration.
SHRC congratulates Mr. Kilo on the occasion of regaining his freedom, and calls upon the Syrian authorities to drop all charges made against him, and release the detainees of the Beirut - Damascus Declaration, political prisoners and prisoners of conscience in Syrian prisons and interrogation centres.
