After presenting a blood-stained handkerchief as evidence that Dalila had been beaten at the prison, he was ordered from the court by a judge and banned from practicing before the Supreme State Security Court.[4] 2006-08 imprisonmentIn May 2006 he was detained by security forces after signing the Beirut-Damascus Declaration calling for democratic reform. A year later he was given a five-year sentence for "spreading false or exaggerated news that could weaken national morale, affiliating with an unlicensed political association with an international nature, discrediting state institutions and contacting a foreign country", according to his lawyer.[5] He was also fined the equivalent of US$2,000 for operating the Center for Legal Research and Studies without government permission. Analysts described the sentence as more severe than those previously given for similar offenses, making it a "stark warning to the Syrian opposition".[3] Amnesty International designated him a prisoner of conscience,[6] and U.S. President George W. Bush named al-Bunni in a speech as a political prisoner unfairly jailed by Syria.[7]After his release from prison in 2011, he continued to defend the detainees, he escaped from Syria the end of 2014. He is in Germany now working to open the files of war criminals in Syria and transitional justice. AwardsIn 2008 he received the Front Line Award for Human Rights Defenders at Risk.[8] The following year he was awarded the Human Rights Award by the German Association of Judges.[9] References1. ^1 2 Wright, Robin, Dreams and Shadows : the Future of the Middle East, Penguin Press, 2008, pp. 257, 8, 9. {{2011 Syrian uprising}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Bunni, Anwar}}2. ^Wright, Robin, Dreams and Shadows : the Future of the Middle East, Penguin Press, 2008, p. 257. 3. ^1 {{cite web |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2007/04/24/world/africa/24iht-syria.4.5422872.html |title=Syria jails lawyer over reports of torture |author=Hassan M.
