Have you seen this before?
13 years ago, brave Syrian activists entrusted me with their footage to expose the brutal reality under Assad's regime.
Today, I honour all who perished, especially my dear friend Bassel Safadi. Your brilliance was too much for the regime, and they took you from us. Syria needs you now more than ever. Missing you deeply today… can miracles exist?

HBD! Bassel Khartabil would be 45 today. Open‑hardware pioneer, Wikimedia contributor, and co‑founder of New Palmyra — with unreleased letters, drives and notes that could still reshape heritage preservation and open tech. Honor him: edit, share, build.
basselkhartabil.org/2026/05/…
Pick One: Bassel 2014 or Bassel 2034?
We are working on Bassel's timeline. Any dates to add?
⏰ basselkhartabil.org/timeline…
Remember Bassel joined the public discourse with his entry into @openclipart & @creativecommons and wanted to come to @LGMeeting but it never worked out IRL. Remotely, yes. He was a major libre graphics contributor.
Have you watched this film about Bassel?

They are the MAIN group doing work on this in practicality.
Still in #Syria searching for my father.
Thousands of families are searching for loved ones, desperate for any piece of information.
For years, the Assad regime denied our pain, denied our demands, and gaslit us about their arrests.
We won’t be silent. We demand the full truth
Today at the funeral of Mazen Al-Hamada.
NOTE: If anyone finds evidence of the life of Bassel, please let us know. The current situation is changing rapidly on the ground in Syria.
