10000's of these professors, teachers and scientists are not allowed to visit their own country.
Syria has also the world record of imprisoned scientists and academics.There are also 1000's of them who were killed in the 70's and 80's.
nowadays,syria is a farmhouse for asad's familly and cronies.
Yes this is Syria ,craddle of civilizations...

I left Syria in the early eighties but not because of persecution by the goverment but of fear of the MB i left for economic reason so did many of the people who left at that time first to study then to find out that you are resposible for your familiy financial health so serving in the army is very diffecult while you have to support your family who did not eat well trying to educate you in west,i elected not to return and when paying instead of going to millitery was available i paid althogh i was only two years from fifty when i believe i would not have to pay to avoid the service .i paid because i felt gratefull to what syria did for me free education free health care to my father who had ranal failiur and was on dialysis ,we all owe alot to syria and i hope chang will make syria more open economicly and politcaly so many people will feel wellcomed as i did when i went there in DEC 2003
