  • Syria 2014 Human Rights Report
    SYRIA 2014 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The authoritarian regime of President Bashar Asad has ruled the Syrian Arab Republic since 2000. The regime routinely violated the human rights of its citizens as the country witnessed major political conflict. The regime’s widespread use of deadly military force to quell peaceful civil protests calling for reform and democracy precipitated a civil war in 2012, leading to armed groups taking control of major parts of the country. In government-controlled areas, Asad makes key decisions with counsel from a small number of military and security advisors, ministers, and senior members of the ruling Baath (Arab Socialist Renaissance) Party. The constitution mandates the primacy of Baath Party leaders in state institutions and society. Asad and Baath party leaders dominated all three branches of government. In June, for the first time in decades, the Baath Party permitted multi-candidate presidential elections (in contrast to single-candidate referendums administered in previous elections), but the campaign and election were neither free nor fair by international standards. The election resulted in a third seven-year term for Asad. The geographically limited 2012 parliamentary elections, won by the Baath Party, were also neither free nor fair, and several opposition groups boycotted them. The government maintained effective control over its uniformed military, police, and state security forces but did not consistently maintain effective control over paramilitary, nonuniformed proregime militias such as the National Defense Forces, the “Bustan Charitable Association,” or “shabiha,” which often acted autonomously without oversight or direction from the government. The civil war continued during the year.

  • 7 Years Gone: Austin Tice Still in Syria and More Press Freedom News in This Issue of Pressing
    7 Years Gone: Austin Tice Still in Syria And more press freedom news in this issue of Pressing. Aug 13 Public post I’m Scott Nover. Welcome back to Pressing, a newsletter about press freedom. If you haven’t yet subscribed, you can do so here and receive this letter in your inbox every Tuesday morning. This is the tenth issue of Pressing and we’ve got a lot of news from the U.S. and around the world. Please keep the feedback coming and send thoughts, suggestions, and tips my way at [email protected]. Let’s jump in. The Wrong Kind of Anniversaries Dates and anniversaries are important to families who’ve endured the worst kind of waiting. For the family of Austin Tice, the journalist who went missing in Syria in 2012, there are two important dates and anniversaries this week. First a birthday: Sunday was Austin’s 38th birthday. Parents Marc and Debra haven’t celebrated a birthday with their son since he turned 31. Since then, he’s been held captive and they’ve had access to limited information from the U.S. government, which has attempted to bring Austin home. And it’ll be seven years tomorrow: He went missing on August 14, 2012. Austin, a Marine veteran who was attending Georgetown University at the time of his capture, went to Syria to document the war as a freelance reporter and photographer. He worked for the Washington Post and the McClatchy newspaper chain among other outlets. Marc and Debra wrote an op-ed that’s been published in USA Today, the Chicago Tribune, the Tennessean, the Bergen Record, the Miami Herald, the Butler Eagle, the Arizona Daily Star, the Pensacola News Journal, CNN, and surely others that I have missed.

  • Syria's Socially Mediated Civil
    [PEACEW RKS [ BLOGS AND BULLETS III SYRIA’S SOCIALLY MEDIATED CIVIL WAR Marc Lynch Deen Freelon Sean Aday ABOUT THE REPORT In this report from the USIP PeaceTech Initiative, a team of scholars from George Washington University and American University analyze the role of social media in Syria’s civil war. The report focuses primarily on group dynamics, activist organizations’ use of online media, and the relationship between new and traditional media. It draws on a public conference held in Washington, D.C., in September 2012 with Syrian activists, Western journal- ists, and policy analysts, as well as on a private workshop held in April 2013 at Stanford University with academic researchers and leading research scientists from top technology firms. It presents novel empirical research on Twitter conversations about Syria that demonstrates important new findings about differences across Arabic and English users, and about the emergence of distinct, insular clusters of discourse. This report is part of the ongoing Blogs and Bullets project led by USIP’s PeaceTech Initiative, in partnership with George Wash- ington University’s Institute for Public Diplomacy and Global Communication. It builds on two other reports, published in 2010 and 2012: “Blogs and Bullets: New Media in Contentious Politics” and “Blogs and Bullets II: New Media and Conflict After the Arab Spring.” ABOUT THE AUTHORS Marc Lynch is a professor of political science and interna- tional affairs at George Washington University and direc- tor of the Institute for Middle East Studies. Deen Freelon is an assistant professor of communication at American University. Sean Aday is an associate professor of media and public affairs and international affairs at George Washington University and director of the Institute for Public Diplomacy and Global Communication.

  • The Committee on Foreign Affairs Member Day Hearing Testimony of Congressman Al Green on H.Res
    The Committee on Foreign Affairs Member Day Hearing Testimony of Congressman Al Green on H.Res. 17 – Expressing concern over the disappearance of Austin Tice I would like to thank Chairman Engel and Ranking Member McCaul for presenting me with this opportunity to testify before the Committee. I would also like to thank them for their efforts, in particular for their leadership in sending a bi-cameral letter to the White House requesting the dispatch of the Special Envoy for Hostage Affairs for Mr. Austin Tice. Because of you, the letter had support from 52 senators and 120 representatives and, for that, I am especially thankful. Mr. Tice is a former Marine Corps Captain and freelance journalist from Houston, Texas. He is an Eagle Scout and grew up wanting to become an international correspondent for NPR. Mr. Tice was an outstanding student. He attended the University of Houston for one year and then transferred to the Georgetown University, School of Foreign Service. Page 1 of 4 12/6/2019 Prepared by: NR Reviewed by: MR, RE His work was published in The Washington Post, McClatchy newspaper, and Agence France-Presse. He was enrolled in Georgetown Law School and had completed two years before his sudden disappearance. In May of 2012, Mr. Tice went to Syria as a freelance journalist to tell the story of the ongoing conflict there. He was abducted after being detained at a checkpoint in Damascus and approximately a month later, a 43-second video emerged with the title “Austin Tice is Alive.” The video showed Austin being held by a group of unidentified men with assault rifles.
