All,
A Syrian Wikimedian has reportedly been sentenced to death by the Syrian
government. There's discussion of a possible banner to support him at
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Banner:Free_Bassel. I encourage you to all
get involved and add your input to the banners, or share your thoughts on
the talk page about which banner would be best.
All the best,
Richard Symonds
