The truth
about the Syrian regime.
Mass Graves.
A recent
report by the well known Syrian reporter, and Human Rights Advocate, Mr. Nizzar Nayyouf,
it was indicated that Syria’s secret service is responsible
for the death of more than 17,000 people. These victims are buried in a mass grave near
the Tadmour prison. More then 1500 of them are Lebanese, although the
Syrian Regime has been strongly denying their existence for the last 25 years. Solida has
recently released a report stating that more than 400 Lebanese
citizens were executed by the Syrian troops in 1990 without any reason and buried at the
Baabda area near the Presidential Palace.
Assassinations
Aside from
all the barbaric torture and arbitrary detainment of thousands of innocent Lebanese
citizens, the Syrian Regime plotted and assassinated prominent
Lebanese national figures who opposed its occupation to their country. Among its victims
are Druz leader Kamal Jumblat, President elect Bashir Gemayel, President
elect Rene Mouawad, Sunni Mufti Hassan Khalid, Mr. Dani Shamoun his wife and 2 little
kids, Journalist Read Taha, Journalist Salim Lawzi, to name a few.
Mass executions
On Oct 1990
the Syrian troops carried mass executions of Lebanese innocent civilians and unarmed
soldiers. More than 200 Lebanese nationals were shot in
the back of their head in a Nazi-style execution. One Lebanese army officer was asked to
lay down flat on the ground after surrendering and a tank was drove
over his body while still alive. Another 15 civilians were rounded up, including three
women and shot in cold blood in the vicinity of the Baabda Presidential
Palace.
Car bombs
Syrian
secret agents have installed and carried out more than 100 car bomb explosions in Beirut
between 1978 and 1990 killing more than 1000 civilians including children . The officer
responsible for most of these crimes lives currently under an assumed name in Syria and
still works at one of Syria's notorious jails torturing more innocent Lebanese as we
speak. Indiscriminate shelling Syrian artillery shelled and killed more then 5000
civilians using heavy artillery, including 240 ml cannons, with complete disregard for
human lives.
Massacres
Between
1976 and 1990, Syria carried out hundreds of massive massacres in Lebanese cities and
towns of Tripoli, Alkah, Aldamour, Bessuse, Alfayadeye, Fern
Alshibek, Beirut, Zahli, causing the death of thousands of innocent citizens including
women and children.
Kidnapping and
torture
Syria’s
secret agents and its Lebanese, Palestinian sponsored militias kidnapped and killed
thousands of innocents citizens. Thousands were transferred to Syrian
jails and detention centers. Hundreds of them are still detained in Syria jails without
any trial or even knowledge regarding their whereabouts.
Major General Ghazi Kanaan, Head of the Syrian intelligence in Lebanon. Kanaan is credited
with slowly tightening Syria’s grip over the Lebanese government starting from 1980
by cultivating alliances with certain militia groups in Lebanon. In 1983 Kanaan ordered
his militia allies to torpedo the May 17th agreement between Israel and Lebanon brokered
by former U.S. Secretary of State Mr. George Schultz. Kenaan went as far as Masterminding
the Feb 6th mutiny in West Beirut which led to the breakdown of the Lebanese central
government and the withdrawal of the multinational peacekeeping forces, including the U.S.
Marines from Lebanon. The plan was executed by a Muslim extremist loyal to Syria who is
currently living in Iran as a trainer for other extremists recruited by
the Syrian regime for world terror.
Dear Mr. Powell, do not be fooled by the cunning tactics of the Syrian regime, their
ultimate goal is to kill democracy and freedom, please do not allow political games to
strip others in the region of their rights to be a free and an independent nations.
The free world has to take a stand against tyrants likes the ones in Syria and Iran, if
you want to win the war against terrorism, than evil regimes like the ones mentioned has
to be eradicated once and for all.
May God bless America and grant you the strength, and the will to overcome the
power of evil sweeping the world today.
Victory for freedom
