KURDWATCH, October 13, 2011—Luqman Mustafa Sulayman, a writer and active member of the dissident Sawa Youth Coalition (b. 1962, married, four children), told KurdWatch that since the assassination of Mischʿal at-Tammu, he has received threatening phone calls from suppressed numbers. The phone calls only last a few seconds. »Each time someone threats me in Arabic that soon I will meet Mischʿal at-Tammu if Sawa and I do not cease our activities.« Since the beginning of the protests in Syria, Sawa has regularly organized dissident demonstrations with other Kurdish groups.
