Helping Amina

CNN confirms that "Gay Girl In Damascus" appears to have been abducted in that murderous tyranny. I mentioned this yesterday. A reader suggests that we email the Syrian embassy to show concern for her fate. Here's the webpage. Or call (202) 232-6316.

Jillian C. York is keeping up with developments:

Amina

On Twitter, Amina's friends and supporters are tweeting in solidarity, using the hashtag  #FreeAmina, and a Facebook page has been created to urge global citizens to contact their local US Embassies, as well as journalists and other public figures. …

Amina's rise to fame was profiled in The Guardian just a few weeks ago, in an article which called her an “unlikely hero of revolt in a conservative country”.
