Abdel Masih Tanoos Detained on Brotherhood Charges
In the 1980s, the Assad Hafez regime arrested a Christian activist from Hama named Abd al-Masih Tannous due to his affiliation with the Communist Party and his connection to a narrative that made him suspect of belonging to the Muslim Brotherhood. Although the regime's observations primarily targeted members of Riyad Al-Turk's party, Tannous was forced to flee for eight years. When security personnel in Damascus stopped him, he assured them that his imprisonment was solely because of his Communist Party membership and not related to the Brotherhood, even though the charge was prepared only because he was from Hama. He abandoned his profession as a teacher to work in construction and blacksmithing, but he kept reading. In 2013, he donated his library of 4,780 books to the Educational Library in Damascus.
