The Syrian Regime’s Massacres Call for Immediate Arab and
International Action
Commenting on the Assad regime’s bloody crimes, a Syrian National
Council (SNC) spokesperson stated:
“In light of the horrific massacres the brutal Assad regime is
committing against unarmed civilians in Zawyiyeh mountain, Idlib, Homs,
and several other areas in Syria, which have resulted in nearly 250
fallen heroes during a 48-hour period, the SNC calls for:
-
An emergency meeting of the Arab League to condemn the bloody
massacres committed by the Assad regime and to cooperate with the
United Nations in taking the necessary measures to protect Syrian
civilians.
-
An emergency UN Security Council session to discuss the regime’s
massacres in Zawyiyeh mountain, Idlib, and Homs, in particular;
issue international condemnation thereof; declare the cities and
towns being brutally attacked “safe zones” that enjoy international
protection; and force the regime’s forces to withdraw from said
areas.
-
A declaration that Zawiyeh mountain, Idlib, and Homs are disaster
areas exposed to large-scale genocide and displacement operations by
the Syrian regime’s militias; we urge the International Red Crescent
and other relief organizations to intervene directly and provide
urgent humanitarian assistance."
The SNC reaffirms the responsibility of the Arab States and the
International Community to protect Syrians from the oppression and
crimes of the Syrian regime. The SNC stresses the need to take all
necessary actions to stop the bloody campaign that is targeting more
cities and towns through the regime’s militant expansion.
