"Madam President, Mr Al-Maleh criticised the Syrian authorities in the media and was condemned for spreading false information that weakens national security. His arrest, detention, conviction and sentencing to imprisonment by a military court are in violation of his rights, in particular the right of freedom of expression and the right to a fair trial. They are a threat to all human rights defenders in the country. The point of freedom of expression is to be able to criticise a government, share information publicly and voice opinions without fearing imprisonment. One does not go to prison for the very essence of a speech: to share opinions and ideas which the listener does not share. I therefore join my colleagues in calling upon Syria to release Mr Al-Maleh immediately. I ask the Commission to raise this issue with the Syrian Government as a matter of urgency."@en1
