Rasha Sharbaji

Rasha Sharbaji, also Shurbaji, Chorbaji, (Arabic: رشا شربجي) is a Syrian mother who was arrested together with her children when she went to get a passport, as a means of putting pressure on her husband.

Ambassador to the U.N., named Sharbaji one of twenty women political prisoners in the Free the 20 campaign.

As the authorities wanted to arrest her husband, Osama Abbar, they imprisoned her and put her children in SOS Village, an orphanage in Qudsaya.

Then they took Sharbaji to the Air Force Intelligence prison at al-Mezze military airport in Damascus.

The Syrian Network for Human Rights nominated Sharbaji, and also the cases of Dr. Rania Abbasi and Dr Faten Rajab for the FreeThe20 campaign.
