Ref #5 is not correctly attributed. It should be: Human Rights Watch, World Report 2008 - Syria, 31 January 2008, available at:
http://www.unhcr.org/refworld/docid/47a87c15c.html. Notes #2 and #3 require some referencing.
1. I replaced the unchr link with a direct link to Human Rights Watch.
2. I have the references for both notes but don't know how to include them. Where do I place the citations? I tried placing one inside the note and received an error message.
I think if you just place a conventional reference and include a quote, rather than using the notes.
Woops, I didn't mean to indicate that. Amnesty International calls the party unauthorized and pointing to the Wikipedia articles was meant to clarify what that means in context. I removed the reference to Wikipedia articles and added a "See also" section.

Is the Faeq al-Mir mentioned at
[1] and here
[2] the same person? If so it would indicate that he is free.
Probably, but I don't know how to say that without constituting
original research. (The sources say someone named Faeq al-Mir commented on Syrian/American politics in 2008. They never say this person was previously imprisoned for a phone call and then released.)
