PRESENTER: Tonight, our guest is Dr. Kamal Al-Labwani. He is considered to be one of the most prominent members of the Syrian opposition movement. He founded the Syrian Liberal Democratic Union.

I would like to give you some brief information from his biography: In 1982, while serving as a military doctor, he observed the Hama Massacre perpetrated by Hafez Assad. This caused him to oppose the ruling Ba'ath Party and he founded the Syrian Liberal Democratic Union. Kamal al-Labwani was arrested in September 2001 after attending a political seminar and he was not allowed to write or read in prison, and his entire connection with the outside world was severed. After he was released in September 2004, he visited the British Parliament, the European Parliament and the White House to hold meetings on democracy and human rights in Syria. He was the first member of the opposition ever invited to the White House. On his return to Syria
