LONDON: Syrian journalist Kinan Waqaf posted a video on Facebook on Sunday revealing that government security forces had raided his home while he was away, pleading with his followers to take care of his children if he was arrested.

The Tartous-based journalist had criticized Syria’s President Bashar Assad a few days earlier for hosting Syrian actress Sulaf Fawakherji and her husband Wael Ramadan in the presidential palace.
