AMMAN: Syrian lawyer Razan Zaitouna has been forced into hiding, her family members detained and her fellow activists jailed, killed or forced to flee the country for their pro-democracy activities.
But Zaitouna, 34, says the uprising against President Bashar Assad must remain peaceful.
They say she moves undercover, showing up suddenly at the wakes of dead protesters and giving speeches that have aroused emotions and increased the risks that she could be killed as assassinations of activists intensify.
