Report: Syrian Protesters Abroad Systematically Monitored, Harassed on Behalf of Regime 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



A new report by Amnesty International has found Syrian protesters in
Europe and the Americas have been systematically monitored and harassed
by embassy officials and others believed to be acting on behalf of the
Syrian regime. The report documents the stories of 30 expatriate Syrian
activists living in eight countries — Canada, Chile, France, Germany,
Spain, Sweden, Britain and the United States. In some cases relatives of
the activists still living in Syria were later detained and tortured.
