An update on Dorothy Parvaz

Firstly, a heartfelt thanks to all of you who have commented on my previous blog post-or even just read the post (knowledge is power).

The Syrian government did confirm on Thursday (a full 6 days after her initial detainment) that they were holding her.

Dorothy has not been allowed any contact yet with the outside world, and the US State Department/Consular service has not even been allowed access.

If you've joined her facebook page or Tweeted on her behalf (#FreeDorothy)-I thank you. 

If you haven't yet, please, please take 30 seconds to do so today. We must keep the momentum going and continue applying pressure to the Syrian government to let her go.
