Syrian authorities free detained priest
Syrian authorities released Bishop Nihad Hassan after detaining him for about two weeks due to social media posts, specifically a Facebook post that attacked Muslims, as well as accusations of religious incitement in the predominantly Kurdish region of Afrin. The bishop, who converted to Christianity in 2008, was planning to settle in northern Syria after the government pledged to protect Christian minorities, despite the attacks and incidents targeting the community there. It is anticipated that the bishop will return to Lebanon, where he resides, given the danger to his life and his family in Syria.
