On my last day in Damascus our soldier friend Sam joined us for a late lunch. However he could not eat, as his stomach was churning from what he had just seen at the industrial satellite town of Adra.
The Syrian Arab Army had been progressively liberating a huge civilian population held hostage for more than two weeks by thousands of foreign-backed armed fighters, most notably the al Qaeda-linked Jabhat al Nusra.
The Hands Off Syria, Sydney, team was part of an Australian delegation, which included members of the Wikileaks Party, and who recently visited Syria. Hands Off Syria member, Dr Tim Anderson, was head of delegation that visited hospitals, universities, and met with civilians as well as government authorities, and Syrian President Dr Bashar al-Assad.

Argentina is expected to appeal to the US Supreme Court by mid-February in response to a US 2nd Circuit Court ruling ordering the country to pay $1.33 billion to predatory hedge funds.
