Comrade Ghadi Francis

I have been referring to the informative articles by comrade Ghadi Francis in As-Safir.  She has focused on the rise of sectarianism (among many sides) in Syria.  On Friday, Ghadi wrote this on my FB page: "Homs is very scary, Man.  I walked and talked and I cried due to how much nervousness there is."  She then sent me regards from the Homs university youth.  The next day, this able correspondent for As-Safir was arrested by the Syrian regime.  She was released the following day (I did not see that As-Safir referred to this today).  What will the lousy Syrian regime say here? Will they accuse this secular progressive woman of being a Salafite too????
