Lesbian blogger captured in Syria
“I keep my nails trimmed shorter than they have ever been lest I be captured and they try and pry them off,” she wrote. On Fridays, when the biggest protests take place, she would ink her name and phone number onto her arm before heading out to attend, so that if she were killed, her family would be informed, according to her blog.
“I hope it’s something I will soon laugh about. . . . But I cannot be sure,” she wrote. “Today or tomorrow might be the last one for me; or tomorrow might be the beginning of a new Syria.”
