Syrian newspapers allows opposition views
Syrian opposition figures and intellectuals were for the first time since the ruling Baath Party came to power in 1963 allowed Tuesday to express views in a government-run newspaper.
The Tishreen newspaper provided space on its cultural page for opposition figures to comment on long-awaited changes in the country and measures expected to be adopted at the Baath Party Regional Conference in June.
The opponents, including left-wing writer Michel Kilo, are known for their long-time fight for more political freedoms. Some were jailed on charges of belonging to banned organizations and engaging “in anti-revolution political actions.”
