#FREEBASSEL : a campaign to free Bassel Khartabil from Syrian jail

"#FREEBASSEL is a campaign to bring about the safe and immediate release of Bassel Khartabil from wrongful detainment in Syria since March 2012.

He is a well-known contributor to global software and culture communities like Creative Commons, Mozilla Firefox, Wikipedia, Open Clip Art Library, Fabricatorz, and Sharism. He is missed by these communities, his family, friends and loved ones.

We will not stop campaigning for him until we see him as a free global citizen once again."
