. @lemesurierjames : The only non-Syrian I ever met who was sure what he did in Syria unambiguously made a difference the better: Saving civilians from rubble, building a Syrian institution for ppl to do good w/o guns. Respect. & prayers for family & colleagues.

I can't believe that James Le Mesurier is dead. His body has been found dead near his office in Istanbul - the cause of death is not known. His work will be honored by history and all Syrians.
