Syria closes EU-funded human rights center
Syria-European Union, Politics, 3/6/2006
Syrian authorities have shut down an EU-funded center for human rights barely a week after it opened, the head of the center said on Saturday.
A security force came and sealed the premises with red tape a few days ago. They have taken a decision not to tolerate anything, human rights lawyer Anwar al-Bunni told Reuters.
There was no immediate official comment from Syrian authorities.
European diplomats, including EU ambassador Frank Hesske, attended the opening of the center on Feb. 21, part of an effort to train lawyers and activists across the region in the human rights field.
