   Announcing The 1st AnnualA #FREEBASSELDAYA on March 15.A 
   ###

   We, the supporters of the #FREEBASSEL project are inviting every person,
   everywhere to make an event on March 15, 2013 with other people in your
   city in global solidarity to call for the immediate release of open web
   advocate Bassel Khartibil. This day is the one year anniversary of the
   illegal jailing of Bassel Khartibil, well known free internet pioneer,
   software engineer, teacher, husband, family-man and friend. Bassel is a
   normal guy, in a bad situation. He is now stuck in a Syrian jail cell
   where he is not able to directly contribute to his local and global
   communities. We demand his captors to #FREEBASSEL!
   Bassel is ALIVE.
   Join us to create an activity, event or even a party to celebrate the
   great work and ongoing life of Bassel. We challenge other leaders of the
   free internet and open web to create events to make #FREEBASSEL t-shirts,
   release #FREEBASSEL software, put up #FREEBASSEL posters in your city, to
   make food together or even to throw a party at a local bar with
   #FREEBASSEL images and songs playing. Have a cheers for #FREEBASSEL and
   tweet the picture of your group publicly in your local language.
   #FREEBASSEL = #FREEINTERNET
   By freeing Bassel, you help to free the Internet. Joining the global
   movement is simple. List your city below, use the #FREEBASSELDAY hashtag
   on Twitter, Instagram and other social networks, set a goal for what you
   will do on this day and spread the word! For those community leaders out
   there like Bassel, pick an activity, a location for people in your
   community to meetup and make known the time for the gathering to your
   community. Then, let&#039;s all have a global #FREEBASSELDAY.
