Bassel Khartabil ((アラビア語:باسل خرطبيل)), also known as Bassel Safadi ((アラビア語:باسل صفدي)), (born May 22, 1981) is a Palestinian Syrian open-source software developer. From March 15, 2012, the one-year anniversary of the Syrian uprising, he was detained by the Syrian government at Adra Prison in Damascus. As of October 3, 2015, he had been transferred to an unknown location, probably to be judged by a military court.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=WE NEED EVERYBODY’S HELP TO #FREEBASSEL )〕 On October 7, 2015, Human Rights Watch and 30 other human rights organizations issued a letter demanding that Khartabil's whereabouts be disclosed.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Syria: Disclose Whereabouts of Detained Freedom of Expression Advocate )〕 On November 11, 2015, rumors surfaced that Khartabil had been secretly sentenced to death. Khartabil was born in Damascus and raised in Syria, where he specializes in open source software development. He has been chief technology officer (CTO) and co-founder of collaborative research company Aiki Lab〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Aiki lab )〕 and was CTO of Al-Aous,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=الأوس للنشر )〕 a publishing and research institution dedicated to archaeological sciences and arts in Syria. He has served as project lead and public affiliate for Creative Commons Syria,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Syria )〕 and has contributed to Mozilla Firefox, Wikipedia, Openclipart, Fabricatorz, and Sharism. He "is credited with opening up the Internet in Syria and vastly extending online access and knowledge to the Syrian people." His most recent work includes a 3D virtual reconstruction〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=#NEWPALMYRA )〕 of the ancient city of Palmyra in Syria,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://vimeo.com/66518396 )〕 real time visualization, and development with Fabricatorz for the web programming framework Aiki Framework. ==Detention== On March 15, 2012, Khartabil was detained amid arrests in the Mazzeh district of Damascus by Military Security Branch 215. That day marked the one-year anniversary of the Syrian uprising, with pro- and anti-government protesters demonstrating in Damascus and elsewhere in the country. Khartabil was interrogated and tortured for five days by Military Branch 215. Security forces raided Khartabil's house, confiscating his computer and other effects. He was then transferred to the Interrogation Division Branch 248 and detained there incommunicado for 9 months. On December 9, 2012, Khartabil was brought to a hearing before a military prosecutor without an attorney present, and accused of "harming state security". Khartabil was then sent to the Adra Prison in Damascus.〔 On December 12, 2013, a request for written answer on the question of Bassel's imprisonment was raised before the European Parliament to the Commission (Vice-President/High Representative), stating that "his voluntary work, always non-violent in nature, was greatly valued by Syrians of all backgrounds, and it is strongly suspected that his arrest was part of an effort to restrict access to online communities and discourses and stifle free expression in Syria." On March 18, 2014, the written answer from High Representative/Vice-President Catherine Ashton was published, stating that "The HR/VP deplores the ongoing imprisonment of Bassel Safadi Khartabil, shares the concerns at his situation and follows it very closely." On April 21, 2015, the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention (WGAD) adopted an Opinion on Bassel Khartabil's case, calling his detention "arbitrary" and asking for his immediate release.〔 The WGAD concluded that Kharbatil's detention violated Articles 9, 14 and 19 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), which Syria ratified in 1969. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bassel Khartabil」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
