Syrian Christians for Democracy calls on the free world to condemn the vicious crimes committed by Assad’s forces tonight in different cities of Syria. The humanitarian situation is precarious and the sectarian peace is in peril. Civil war might become a reality if the International community does not act now to protect the Syrian people from their dictator.
Our organization is sickened by the 200 innocent Syrians who were killed by Assad’s death squads and a canon barrage targeting their homes. The death toll is expected to be higher in the morning hours. The Assad media arm is propagating that the initiator of this new offensive is the Christian minister of defense, General Daoud Ragha, who was appointed to his current position last march when the revolution started, albeit all outside observers know that in Syria, the military orders come straight from Assad’s palace.
Therefore, we solemnly ask the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court to take immediate legal action against the Syrian Army field officers, their general commander and his deputy Daoud Ragha.
The impact of this desperate act of resistance might tear up the Syrian social fabric and plunge the country in a violent period of sectarian strife.
