[hackerspaces] #FREEBASSEL

[Mitch Altman]

I just saw this url:
http://freebassel.org

Bassel Khartabil is a hacker and open source software advocate, part of the communities of Creative Commons, Wikipedia, Firefox, amongst others.  He was arrested in Syria and has been detained without trial for the past 20 months.

The above url has more info, and a petition.  (We'll need to do more than just the petition, but it is a start to create some momentum.)

Best,
Mitch.
