The sentences issued include: Ahmed al-Shalbani, arrested on 25/2/2004 and Usama Ma'inah, arrested on 11/1/2004 were sentenced to ten years imprisonment. Mohammed Abdul-Ghani arrested on 5/2/2004 was sentenced to eight years imprisonment. Hussam Shalhoom arrested on 5/2/2004 and Abdul-Wahab al-Daahir on arrested 3/5/2004 were sentenced to seven years imprisonment. Ibrahim Nasri arrested on 26/3/2004 was sentenced to six years imprisonment. Mohammed Khair al-Mubarak arrested on 25/2/2004 was sentenced to five years imprisonment. Munthir Barmo arrested on 5/2/2004 was sentenced to four years imprisonment. The Syrian Human Rights Committee (SHRC) considers these issued sentences as unlawful and unjustifiable, issued from an illegal Court. SHRC requests that the sentences are dropped and the abovementioned detainees released, and in the case of a detainee having charged with an offence, then he should be tried at a lawful court whilst enjoying his full liberties and the right to defend himself.
