Homepage article, entitled: Revealing The Invisible Crisis In Syria http://www.theuptake.org/ (The audio is not good in the first 1-2 min, because it comes from a recording, but it is normal with the speakers.)

From the UpTake: "The situation in Syria has escalated in the last year. A peaceful popular uprising has become a violent conflict where scores of people are killed on a daily basis. UN monitors and journalists have had limited access inside Syria. At the First Unitarian Society in Minneapolis, three (four) experts fill us in on what the media can't or won't show to the rest of the world."

Speaking:

• Dr. Wael Khouli, Syrian American, Physician and Human Rights Activist
• Dr. Beeman, Professor & Chair of Anthropology, Univ of Minn, and Pres. of the middle east section of the American Anthropological Association
• Ahmed Tharwat, Host of Arab American TV Program, BelAhdan
• Coleen Rowley, WAMM Board Member, Time Magazine Whistleblower of the Year
