Syrian opposition activist Orouba Barakat and her journalist daughter were found dead in her station in Istanbul last night. Istanbul police announced on Friday that bodies of the 60-year-old Barakat and her 22-year-old daughter, Halla, were found overnight in her apartment in Istanbul's Üsküdar district on the Asian side of the city. In Turkish media reports, Orouba Barakat investigates alleged torture in prisons run by the Assad regime. She said she first lived in the UK and then in the United Arab Emirates before coming to Istanbul.

"The hand of tyranny and injustice assassinated my sister Doctor Orouba and her daughter Halla in their apartment in Istanbul," Orouba's sister Shaza wrote on Facebook, adding that they were stabbed to death.

"Orouba wrote headlines in the first page and she pursued criminals and exposed them. Her name and her daughter's name, Hala, now made first page headlines," Shaza added.

According to Syrian opposition activists, Arouba was a member of the Syrian National Council. She had backed the uprising against the Assad regime but also criticized some arms of the opposition.
