Syria 1st-Hand Video: Activist Rami al-Jarrah (Alexander Page) Tells His Story
Last night Syrian activist Rami al-Jarrah, who has been prominent on social media under the pseudonym Alexander Page, was held for a few hours at Doha Airport in Qatar and told by an official that he faced deportation to Syria, where he would likely be detained and tortured.
Today al-Jarrah tells Al Jazeera English about his flight from Syria to Egypt when his identity was compromised, the threat to activists inside the country, and the experience at the airport.
