without a torch, my fingers dig

On 16 February 2013 Syrian anarchist Omar Aziz died in Adra central prison after being arrested.
With the arrival of the Arab Spring in Syria, Aziz, then aged 63, helped establish the first local committee in the Damascus suburb of Barzeh, through which the local community could self-organise resistance activities as well as mutual aid and cooperation, like providing housing, medical and food support.
