Spread the Word: Nicole Vienneau is Missing in Syria

I’m not sure how much I can help by blogging about this, but Talid wrote and asked me to post about his friend’s Vancouverite sister who’s disappeared in Syria:
We know she made it out of Lebanon and was in Syria. Her Syrian visa expired on April 5th, so we presume that she’s in Turkey, but can’t say for certain. My mom contacted Foreign Affairs on Thursday and they’re checking if she crossed the border (we hope). But it’s a long-weekend in the Middle-East so we haven’t hear anything (perhaps tomorrow). They suggested that young girls can get caught up in things and forget to email, but she’s not that young (my apologies to her in advance!) and she’s not foolhardy - you don’t successfully navigate all these trips by being silly.
This already got dugg (where-in many Digg users confirm their incredible asshattery), but I haven’t seen any mainstream news hits about it.
