KURDWATCH, March 15, 2011—Anwar Naso was released from custody in Damascus on March 3, 2011. As Naso speaks no Arabic, he could not say who held him or what the accusations against him were. KurdWatch suspects that he spent the entire time at the Immigration and Passport Authority in Damascus while his identity was being clarified. After Anwar Naso’s father was released from custody, he requested an individual extract from the register of foreigners for his son. [Further information on the case]
