Syrian Referendum Criticized

May 31st, 2007 by Audrey

Allegations of threats and intimidation continue to circle around the May 27 referendum on extending the presidency of Bashar Assad for another seven years. News compiled by researchers from the Center for Liberty in the Middle East about the Syrian Opposition quoted an Assyrian Christian, a Muslim Brother and students who all complained of intimidation or illegal practices conducted during the referendum. Several other English and Arabic sources are linked through the article.

Also, SyriaComment has an interesting look at new polling data on Syrian public opinion from Syriapol.
