The Internet in Syria / Stateless Kurds

Human Rights Watch just published there first report on "Online Censorship in the Middle East and North Africa." They wrote me to say:

Dear Josh -
We launched the report yesterday at WSIS. The full text is being translated into Arabic now. In the meantime, the full English text is here. The English press release is here. And the Arabic version (blocked in Tunisia, as with the French version) is here. The Syrian part is here.

Refugees International Bulletin on Stateless Kurds in Syria has just been released by Maureen Lynch. It is a overview of the problem. President Asad has anounced that the Syrian government will soon be granting 80,000 of the stateless Kurds nationality. It is not yet clear who exactly will be getting it.
