Tal al-Mallohi Politician
Tal Dosr al-Mallohi (alternately, al-Mallouhi) (Arabic: طل الملوحي) born in Homs January 4, 1991 is a Syrian blogger from Homs. She has been called "the youngest prisoner of conscience in the Arab world". On 27 December 2009, Tal was taken from her home by officers of one of the security offices in Syria because she has written poems about Palestine and social commentaries on her blog. Ever since, her parents didn't know which security office has detained her nor where they can visit their daughter. Tal al-Mallohi has been accused by the Syrian government of being a spy for the United States of America, and sentenced on February 15, 2011 to five years in prison.
