It’s
not about what the international community wants any more than it is about what
Assad wants. It’s about what we want and need as a people in order to regain and
protect our basic freedoms. And what we want and need is for all decent people
in the world to abide by their moral and legal obligations towards us.
Intervention to support the pro-democracy revolutionaries in Syria, be it
simple of complex, is a moral and legal obligation, and we will never stop
rallying for it as it is an essential component of our fight against corruption
and tyranny.

In regard to the recently released report by Human Rights Watch on
torture, this is a leaked video showing pro-Assad troops torturing a
civilian http://youtu.be/6bW2AHfyw_o All
through the torture session security officers keep taunting their prisoner: “You
want freedom?” “You want to kill the Aalwites?” “Say Assad is your God.”
News
Op-Eds
& Special Reports
Let it be
clear to all: Demanding international intervention is our moral and legal right
as a people who belong to a country that is a member of the United Nations. When
we call for international intervention to help put an end to Assad’s tyrannical
and corrupt rule, we are not demanding anything that is outside the purview of
international law and the legal obligations to which all states that are signatories
of the UN Charter are subject. Asking the international community to abide by
its moral and legal obligations towards us as a people is part and parcel of our
struggle to free ourselves of oppression. We do not want to be ruled by a corrupt
and oppressive government any more than we are willing to remain part of an
oppressive and unfair international system. We want all those politicians who
make decisions that impact our lives to be accountable to us, no matter where they
happen to be. We want both the national and international institutions that were
established in our name and whose decisions have real impact on our way
of life to be transparent, fair and accountable. This is what our revolution is
about, and this is why our revolution will go on, until the tyranny of the
Assad is no more and the international community has accepted to abide by its legal
and moral obligations towards us.
