Syrian activist: 'The lies need to stop' #SOSHoms #Children #Hungry #Cold #NoMedicalSupplies #Atrocities
The children are hungry, the children are so hungry. they are cold. There is no medical supplies for the people with injuries. The lies must stop! The world should be ashamed of what is happening in Syria. The world is watching us being slaughtered in silence. We are being brutally slaughtered for nothing, for only asking for freedom. We never expected so much brutality.

Time to Put a Stop to the Horrors in Syria
By Kenneth Bandler
Published December 23, 2011
"One size fits all" is never a suitable strategy for addressing concurrent Middle East crises. Nearing the first anniversary of the beginning of upheavals across the Arab world, there is no doubt that the complexity of each country requires a tailored approach.
What seems to have worked in Libya—a mix of domestic opposition to strongman Muammar Qaddafi and international support to force his overthrow—is not applicable to other Arab countries in turmoil, certainly not Syria.
Qaddafi’s quixotic personality, open support for international terrorism, and public vows to kill rebels opposing his rule prompted U.S., European and Arab governments to coalesce in support of the rebels, who were armed and already engaged in battle against the regime.
The situation in Syria is quite different. There is no organized armed rebellion. Syrians are largely defenseless, at the mercy of :President Bashar al Assad’s armed forces and security services. Economic sanctions have not yet been fully employed. No nation desires to intervene militarily, nor has the Syrian opposition sought NATO assistance.
The ferocity of Assad’s bloody campaign against his own citizens has intensified, largely in response to the growing international criticism of his regime, and shows no sign of letting up.
“The heart of every Syrian is tremendously hurt by watching the victims fall daily and the slow response of the international community,” Radwan Ziadeh, a leading Syrian human rights activist, told the U.N. Human Rights Council this month. The U.N. says that more than 5,000 have been killed, while some in the Syrian opposition claim the total exceeds 6,000.
International follow-up has been inconsistent and slow. For the masses of Syrians standing up to the Assad regime, the Arab League’s reticence has been so disappointing that organizers of the weekly Friday mass protests in Syria decided to dub today’s demonstrations “Protocol of Death, License to Kill.”

Sanctions not enough to stop the bloodshed: Syrian revolutionaries clip from article: As the international community moves to keep more of its money and goods out of Syria, a revolutionary group is urging them to send people in.
“We need international observers. We need U.N. in Syria. We need to open in the door all the human rights organizations. We need the media to come to Syria,” Ali Hasan, spokesman for the Syrian Revolution General Commission, told Global News from Damascus.
Arab League observers tasked with monitoring Assad’s promise to end its crackdown on protests landed in the country this week. About 150 observers are expected in the country.
While Syrian protestors welcomed their arrival, Hasan said there simply aren’t enough observers to stop the violence.
“If you cover Daraa they will kill in Homs. If you cover Homs they will kill in Hama,” he said. “We want other nationalities and international groups to come.”

The United States condemns in the strongest terms the bombings today in Damascus. We extend our sympathies to the families of the victims. There is no justification for terrorism of any kind and we condemn these acts wherever they occur.For nine long months the Assad regime has used torture and violence to suppress the aspiration of the Syrian people for peaceful political change. Throughout this time we have spoken out against the violence in Syria, as we have in other countries since the moment peaceful movements for democratic change began in the region, and we will continue to do so. It is crucial that today’s attack not impede the critical work of the Arab League monitoring mission to document and deter human rights abuses with the goal of protecting civilians. We hope that this mission will proceed unfettered in an atmosphere of non-violence. The burden is on the regime to cooperate fully and quickly with the monitoring mission.
The Syrian people continue to suffer daily. They deserve a peaceful political transition that begins with respect of their human rights and an immediate end to repression. The United States will continue to support the Syrian people in their struggle for a peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy.

clip from article: OTTAWA - Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird has announced new measures against Syria's totalitarian regime, while chiding the UN for its failure to act decisively in the face of what he calls clear human-rights violations.
Baird says Canada is freezing Syrian government assets and prohibiting most trade with the authoritarian regime of President Bashar Assad.
The minister says Assad is cut off, that his "disgusting brand of violence must stop" and the Syrian president must go. [read more at link]

Assad has previously tried to blame the Syrian revolution on "Salafists," "armed gangs", the CIA and "Zionists". International human rights monitors, Syrian army defectors, Western investigative journalists and on-the-ground activists have proven this to be propaganda. So now it's al-Qaeda's turn.

Amnesty International condemns Syria's death penalty for those arming 'terrorists' - Thailand Forum
clipped from article:
LONDON (BNO NEWS) -- Amnesty International on Thursday warned that the bloodshed in Syria could worsen after the government introduced a law imposing the death penalty on anyone found guilty of arming 'terrorists.'
The official SANA news agency reported on Tuesday that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad had signed a law providing the death penalty for anyone who provides weapons or helps to provide weapons intended to carry out terrorist attacks. The announcement came during one of the deadliest weeks since pro-reform protests began earlier this year.
"The law could have serious consequences as the Syrian authorities claim that anti-government protests are the work of 'armed terrorists'," said Philip Luther, Amnesty International's interim Director for the Middle East and North Africa. "The Syrian authorities must immediately repeal this law, which represents yet another brutal tool in their arsenal of repression."
An eyewitness speaking to Amnesty International described seeing the bodies of what he estimated to be around 100 residents following shelling in the western part of the village of Kafr Awaid on Tuesday. He said they had fled their homes out of fear of arrest in their homes.
The Syrian National Council (SNC), a Turkish-based opposition government in exile, condemned the regime of Bashar al-Assad on Wednesday for its "appalling massacres" which left nearly 250 people killed over a 48-hour period. The group urged the Arab League and the United Nations Security Council to take "the necessary measures" to protect civilians.
Since April, Amnesty International has called for the Security Council to refer the situation in Syria to the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), and to impose a comprehensive arms embargo on Syria and an assets freeze on President Bashar al-Assad and others involved in ordering or perpetrating serious human rights abuses. Consultations are expected to resume on Thursday on a new draft resolution on Syria before the UN Security Council.
The United Nations earlier this month said the death toll in Syria as a result of the ongoing government crackdown against protesters and civilians in general has surpassed at least 5,000. The Syrian government has claimed violent acts against protesters have been carried out by 'terrorists dressed as soldiers,' although international observers have rejected these claims.

Arab League team arrives in Syria as violence goes on | Top News | Reuters
Arab League team arrives in Syria as violence goes on | Top News | Reuters
clip from article: By Dominic Evans
BEIRUT (Reuters) - An advance team from the Arab League arrived in Syria on Thursday ahead of the deployment of monitors to judge whether Damascus is implementing a peace plan it agreed last month.
The plan entails a withdrawal of troops from the streets, release of prisoners and dialogue with the opposition. Thousands have died in a crackdown on protests against President Bashar al-Assad and, increasingly, in fighting between mutinous troops and security forces.
Arab League sources have said the advance team, led by top League official Samir Seif al-Yazal, comprises a dozen people, including financial, administrative and legal experts to ensure monitors have free access across Syria.
The main group of around 150 observers is to arrive by the end of December. Syria stalled for six weeks before signing a protocol on Monday to admit the monitors.
Events in Syria are hard to verify because authorities have banned most independent reporting. [ read more at link]
