News at Eleven: Tal al-Mallohi, a 19-year-old schoolgirl blogger,

has been incommunicado in a Syrian prison since December last year.

No formal charges had been levelled against her and her family was only allowed to visit her for the first time last week.

On December 27, 2009, al-Mallohi was taken into custody by the authorities. Her blog, which focused on poetry and social commentary, highlights the suffering of Palestinians. It was not clear whether al-Mallohi's arrest was connected to the blog.
