Fadwa Soliman in Hiding within Syria on Phone Making Statements for Freedom
by Johnny Punish
From the early start of the Syrian popular uprising against tyranny and oppression, many intellectuals worldwide across the board have joined the Syrian people in their fight for freedom and dignity a presence that proved to be of a tremendous impact across the country.
Among those is Syrian actress Fadwa Soliman who announced her full support and stood among her brothers and sisters at the heart of the revolution, the victorious city of Homs. Undoubtingly representing a real noble position of an intellectual, a woman and a human.

Born in Aleppo Syria, Fadwa moved to the capital Damascus to pursue an acting career where she performed in numerous plays, including in No Comment, Dolls’ House, Maria’s Voice and Media, and in at least a dozen TV shows, including in The Diary of Abou Antar and Little Ladies.
A prominent Syrian actress, she has been actively backing the eight-month-old uprising against the country’s government, which is blamed for a military crackdown on protests that the UN says has left thousands of people dead.
Fadwa Soliman belongs to the country’s minority Alawite sect, the same branch of Islam as the country’s ruling Assad family.
She has been in the flashpoint city of Homs for weeks, urging more people to take part in the revolution while on the run from authorities.
We, the people of the United States from all walks of life and all political affiliations, really need to announce our full support and solidarity with Fadwa in her noble human and patriotic stance with her countrymen and women in their fight for more than eight months now.
We also need to call all on all peoples in the world to stand in solidarity with her in her peaceful struggle to stop the killing, the starvation and the humiliation practiced unfortunately by the Syrian government.
Also, we need to stand in full solidarity with our brothers and sisters in all revolting cities and villages of the Middle East, especially the great city of Homs. It’s time America stands for it’s own storied and hard earned values with those who seek the same.
Inspired today, I penned some lyrics for a song in honor of Fadwa. Check it out….
