Met a Syrian (1 of 2): Facebook.

So I met a(n early 30s) Syrian doctor the other day.

I was asking him about the Arab spring, and he said a friend of his who's a physician wrote something on Facebook that the government interpreted as anti-government, so they showed up in the middle of the night and took him away.

That was six months ago, and his parents received word last week that his location is still unknown.
