London 24th October,
Syrian and international public opinion
The report of Detlev Mehlis, the international judge
appointed by the UN and the public attorney of
Berlin, presented to Mr Kofi Annan, is very similar
in its condemnation of the Baathist regime of Syria
to the condemnation of the Baathist regime of Iraq
after its occupation of Kuwait, and it is much like
the last straw that broke the camel’s back.
Fact is the crimes of the Iraqi regime were not
uncovered to the world until after its occupation of
Kuwait; these crimes were committed against the
Iraqi, Kurdish and Iranian peoples and in short made
the Iraqi regime the enemy number one of humanity,
despite the fact that the Iraqi regime up to its
occupation of Kuwait was enjoying the support of the
west and the east as well as the Arabic and Islamic
support. |

After the occupation of Kuwait it was no longer
possible to hide its crimes It was only then that
for the first time the mass graves of the Kurds and
Arabs killed by the Iraqi regime were uncovered to
reveal one of the most racist, bloody and despotic
regimes of the world.
It is the same now for the Syrian regime that is no
less criminal than the Iraqi regime, and the Mehlis
report that condemns the Syrian regime for the
assassination of the former president of Lebanon
Rafiq El-Hariri without doubt will have implications
no less than the occupation of Kuwait by Iraq.
For the Mehlis report has an international weight as
it was compiled by the demand of the UN, and thus it
will uncover all the crimes committed by the Syrian
regime against all those who differed in their
opinions, leaders and intellectuals all over the
world ,and especially the Lebanese that we can
mention: Kemal Junbulat, Bashir El-Jumaeel, René
Muawadh, George Hawi, Elias El-Murr and Samir El-Qasseer.
This also means that the Mehlis report will make the
Syrian question an international one, and Syria is
no longer a hostage of the Baath decisions. Its
results shall open the door for uncovering all
crimes and for the Syrian people and the Kurdish
people in Western Kurdistan to determine their own
destiny and that of their countries according to
international norms and the UN charter that clearly
states that all the peoples of the world have the
right of self determination.
The cowardly Syrian regime does not even dare to
speak about its rights to regain parts of
Askandaruna and Golan, while it sent its planes and
tanks against the Kurdish uprising in Western
Kurdistan in the towns of Hasaka, Qamishli, Amuda,
Derik, Kobani, Afrin and Aleppo on 12-3-2004, or
killed the people of Hama and Tadmur prison in the
beginning of the eighties, or is terrorising the
Jordanian farmers on the Syrian-Jordanian borders
recently, in addition to recruiting and training
terrorists and sending them to commit terrorist acts
in Iraq, Lebannon, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait
as well as other Gulf states, to kill the innocent.
The Nazi Syrian regime has killed, injured and
imprisoned thousands of Kurds in Western Kurdistan
without any scrouples. First it burned 400 Kurdish
children to death in the Amuda cinema in 1960, and
then burned 75 Kurds in Hasaka Central Prison in
1993, in addition to mass murder of the Kurds in the
streets during the uprising of March 2004 or in
prisons under barbaric torture. The Syrian racist
regime has also assassinated several Kurdish leaders
such as the great Kurdish leader prince Jaladat
Baderkhan in 1952 by an explosion of a water tank
over his head to make it as an accident, up until
the assassination of the Kurdish leader and scholar,
the martyr Dr Muhammad Mashuq Khaznawi after his
arrest and barbaric torture on 30-5-2005. We demand
an international investigation into all these crimes
so that they cannot be repeated, and demand
international protection of the Kurdish people in
Western Kurdistan similar to the protection of
Southern
Kurdistan since 1991 up to the fall of Saddam’s
regime.
It was a long dark night for the peoples of the
region, but the time is ripe and very near to get
rid of
the fascist Baathist nightmare for ever.
