🎗️Muhammad Sa’eed al-Khateeb🎗️hails from the Misqaan, near Tal Rifaat in rural Aleppo. He was the first journalist of Aleppo and its countryside to report with his real name-- not a pseudonym. During the early days of the revolution, he was an English student at Univ. of Aleppo. 
Muhammad Saeed was a bold libertarian, inclined towards emancipation from the slavery of the Ba’ath regime. He was known for his anti-regime position even before the revolution, refusing to join the Baath Party, which is rare among university students.
When the revolution began in Dara’a, Saeed organized and participated in the peaceful demonstrations from Aleppo and its university. He documented the violence of the shabiha detaining and shooting live bullets at unarmed men, women, and children.
Because of this, he was pursued by security services and pushed to leave his university and move to his hometown to broadcast peaceful demonstrations from the countryside of Aleppo.
He was one of the first activists of the revolution who conveyed the reality of everyday life for Syrians and their ambitions. He filmed protests, reported on media platforms, created sketches and the series "This is What Happened to Us", or "هيك صار معنا."
This content simplified and explained the reality of the Syrian people, how their demands for basic rights were met with cruelty and violence, and how far they are from hatred and sectarianism.
He worked as a journalist with Al-Arabiya and Orient channels and did interviews on Al-Jazeera as a member of the Syrian Revolution General Committee. He spoke against all forms of injustice, and worked openly against the regime and extremism brought by ISIS & its branches.
This cost him several attempts of kidnapping by ISIS.
On October 31, 2013, the morning of his wedding, Muhammad was at the barber shop. He was assassinated by ISIS then and there, in the most cowardly manner.

Just a few days before his martyrdom, Muhammad openly said:
“If I cannot say the word of truth toward the oppressor, whoever it is, I have no life.”
