Egyptian Blogger Batuta arrested by Syrian regime and blamed for incitement of violence


@3arabawi since he is your friend I hope this mobilizes the Egyptian blogger community to expose the Syrian regime.


Damascus, (SANA) – The Syrian Television broadcast on Saturday preliminary confessions of non-Syrians of various nationalities who were arrested during the events taking place in a number of Syrian cities.
The television broadcast the confessions of an Egyptian with American nationality who works in Syria. He said that he visited Israel in secret and confessed to receiving money from abroad in exchange for sending photos and videos about Syria.
The Egyptian said that he received emails from abroad inquiring about the possibility of sending photos and videos about Syria. He received an email asking if he was prepared to assist a Spanish-speaking person from Columbia who communicated with him via email in preparation for a meeting and sending photos and videos.
He said that he was selected because he lived in Syria and carries a camera-equipped mobile phone and can benefit from this opportunity.
