UN officials probe threats to Syrian activists
The two UN special rapporteurs on violence against women and on human rights defenders have called on the Syrian government to clarify allegations that two human rights defenders, Rima Faleh and Alaa Amer, were subjected to threats and both online and physical attacks after they published reports and opinions criticizing government policies and exposing human rights violations. Faleh was targeted by cyberattacks and sexual threats following the release of a report on the kidnapping of women from the Alawite community, while Amer received death and rape threats after publishing an article about the role of the Druze community in Damascus and their support for a peaceful protest. The United Nations has urged the Syrian government to investigate these allegations and to take measures to protect human rights defenders and prevent future attacks.
