But the authorities show no sign of relinquishing the tight control which the Baath Party has exerted since it took power in a 1963 coup and banned all opposition. A campaign of arrests has left an estimated 6,000 people in jail as political prisoners. Meanwhile, about 400-450 people are subject to official travel bans, although the real number could be in the thousands, human rights groups say. "There is a continuous deterioration in the human rights situation in Syria," says lawyer and head of the Syrian Human Rights Organization Mohannad al-Hassani. 2009-07-15 06:00:00Full Article
