SDC confirms its support for "revolutionary movement in As-Suwayda"

 The Council issued a written statement regarding the latest developments in the Syrian city of As-Suwayda.

 At the beginning of the statement it was stated:

 "During the past five days, our people in the city of As-Suwayda went out in peaceful demonstrations, demanding freedom, dignity and improving living conditions, despite the repressive security grip of the Damascus authority.

 The revolution of freedom and dignity did not stop, as hope was accompanying it at every moment, despite the setbacks that punctuated its path during the past decade, the spirit is still resurrected in it and renewed today in the heart of the beating heart of all Syrians.

 The statement added: "The revolution deviated from its course when it was dominated by political Islam, and later terrorist organizations such as ISIS and Al-Nusra, and the mercenary factions that branched from them, which follow the orders and agendas of the Turkish occupation.  What is happening today in As-Suwayda is a revival of the revolution, that calls for a decent living and preserves its dignity. This movement is nothing but a new challenge in the direction of tyranny and another proof that the revolution of rights does not die.

 The Syrian Democratic Council expressed its support for the "revolutionary movement in As-Suwayda", and added: "The Syrian Democratic Council, as it stands by the revolutionary movement in As-Suwayda and closely follows its developments, calls on its leaders to lead their own path and not allow any party to derail it from its peaceful path. The march that calls for democratic change, and makes Syria a state of social justice, freedom, equality and law.

 The statement of the Syrian Democratic Council also called on the international community to "deter the authority in Damascus from committing any massacres," and ended the statement by saying: "The Syrian Democratic Council warns of the seriousness of the situation in As-Suwayda and expresses its great fears about the authority in Damascus' exploitation of the international atmosphere, especially at a time when it is busy.  The world is concerned about the Russian-Ukrainian crisis, and considers it an opportunity to suppress the peaceful revolutionary movement there without the presence of any accountability or oversight. Accordingly, the Council calls on the international community, and in particular the Russian government, to deter the authority in Damascus from committing any massacres, and to hold it accountable for any violation that may be exposed.  It has our people in As-Suwayda, pushing it to the dialogue table, and concluding a political solution, as it is the only key to saving the people and the country, and the stability of the region.”
