Citizen Journalist Danny Abdul Dayem from Syria Speaking in Downer’s Grove Tonight

Citizen journalist Danny Abdul Dayem, from Homs, Syria, is coming to Chicago tonight, Wednesday, March 7th, to shed light on the atrocities he just recently witnessed in Syria. Danny has been on Anderson Cooper, Aljazeera, BBC, etc, and has countless youtube videos documenting the Syrian government crackdown on protestors. The Syrian American Council will host Danny at Ashyana Banquets: 1620 75th St.,  Downers Grove, IL.

The event will take place from 7-10, with Danny making an appearance at 8:15pm. The US is now taking measures to arm the opposition group in Syria. With Syria making breaking news every day the Syrian crises has never been more relevant.

Reportedly, the news coming from Syria currently is that the country has had a bloody revolution for almost a year now and there is a massacre happening in Homs. Over 7,500 people have been killed and hundreds of thousands have been imprisoned, tortured or missing. The brutal Assad regime targets children to create paralyzing fear. The UN reports last year document the torture of children in Syrian political prisons. Some children have been tortured to the point of death.
