1- Press Freedoms:
Article / 36 / of the Syrian constitution states that “Every citizen has the right to freely and openly express his views in words, in writing, and through all other means of expression. He also has the right to participate in supervision and constructive criticism in a manner that safeguards the soundness of the domestic and nationalist structure and strengthens the socialist system. The state guarantees the freedom of the press, of printing, and publication in accordance with the law. Yet all newspapers in Syria are state -run newspapers serving the ruling parties only to express their opinions and criticize the government policies and corruption.
Press and media freedoms made no progress in Syria this year. Indeed, these freedoms saw a clear decline through systemizing the mono-dimension throughout all media sources, and returning to the usage of totalitarian approach in the detention of writers and journalists such as Michel Kilo, Ali El -- shahabi, Muhammad Ghanem and Sha’aban Aboud.
There are clear evidences on the abovementioned fact, for example Alsham channel has been closed shortly after being licensed to operate under the plea of shortage in license papers. Before that, Aldomri and Almbki newspapers were also closed.
