Документалисты протестуют против задержания сирийского коллеги асадовскими властями

Сирийский документалист и продюсер Орва Нырабия был арестован 23 августа представителями правительственной стороны конфликта  в аэропорту сирийской столицы. Его семья до сих пор не получила никаких объяснений. В его поддержку выступили уже сотни документалистов мира и Мартин Скорсезе. Но его жена думает, что реально помочь могут именно российские кинематографисты. Можем ли мы обратиться в наш МИД с просьбой передать наше коллективное письмо сирийскому руководству?
Понятно, что человек с кинокамерой, снимая в условиях гражданского конфликта, постоянно рискует быть обвиненным одной из враждующих сторон в нелояльности.
Но профессиональный долг документалиста и состоит в том, чтобы запечатлеть исторические события со всех возможных сторон и углов зрения, сохраняя нейтралитет.  

Здесь письмо, которое распространила его семья:
