Aka Souhair al Atassi
The Syrian militant for human rights Suhair al-Atassi (aka Souhair al-Atassi) has been arrested several times in the past, and is frequently harassed by the regime of President Bashar al-Assad.
It is still unclear at this moment whether Suhair Atassi is really a legitimate activist or one with a hidden foreign agenda. Her positions are confusing to many.Although Suhair Atassi refused to take part in the meetings of the Syrian National Dialogue Committee she however called for the boycott of the meeting held on Monday 4 July 2011 at Cinema St. Germain in Paris under the name of “popular movement in Syria” which was organized by La Regle du Jeu (The Rule of the Game) magazine and website which is headed by Bernard-Henri Levy, one of the staunchest defenders of Israel along with other French figures that are noted for being “Israel”s friends in France”. She called Syrian participants such as Ammar Qorabi (in exile in Cairo, he heads the National Organization for Human Rights), Omar Al-Azm (anthropologist, professor at the University of Ohio), Adib Shishakli (grand son of a former Syrian president in USA), and Georgette Alam to also cancel their participation in the conference… This could either be because she is a grand nationalist, or simply because she understands how such a participation would reveal the true nature of the unrest in Syria, a foreign conspiracy (Syrian opposition members in foreign countries doe not have such a good reputation in the eyes of the majority of the Syrians in Syria).
Souhair al-Atassi was one of those who called for civil disobedience through her blog and youtube videos, asking Syrians to burn their bills and not to pay their taxes.
2011 Nobel peace prize
The 2011 Nobel peace prize was awarded jointly to two Liberians, President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf and peace activist Leymah Gwobee, who mobilised women to help end the war in Liberia, and to the Yemeni journalist and human rights activist, Tawakul Karman. Karman set up an organisation called Women Journalists without chains and has been a key figure in the uprising against President Ali Abdullah Saleh.
Karman said,
“This award is not for me rather for the millions who have been marching. The Yemeni revolution is finally getting international recognition. We need to continue seeking international pressure on the oppressive Saleh regime in order for this prize to be of greater value”.
The Nobel peace prize committee said they were chosen “for their non-violent struggle for the safety of women and for women’s rights to full participation in peace-building work”.
Karman dedicated her award to the Yemeni people and called on the international community to give it value by putting pressure on the Saleh regime. Sirleaf-Johnson said Liberians should be proud and said ti gave her “a stronger commitment to work for reconciliation”
