Bassel Khartabil

free culture and democracy activist, Syrian political prisoner

Bassel Khartabil (Arabic: باسل خرطبيل; May 22, 1981 – October 3, 2015) was a Palestinian Syrian open-source software developer. He was detained without trial by the Syrian government in 2012 and was secretly executed in 2015. Human rights organizations claim that he was detained for his activities in support of freedom of expression, and the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention considered his detention to have been arbitrary.
