We, in the Assyrian Democratic Organization, strongly condemn this heinous action that conflicts with basic Human Rights and the Syrian Constitution, which guarantees freedom of expression and the right of peaceful and democratic assembly for all Syrian citizens. We demand the immediate release of these Assyrian detainees and all those detained due to participating in these peaceful protests, and the release of all political prisoners in Syria. We also call on the Syrian authorities to halt their restrictive security measures that lead the country into the unknown. It is time to begin an official, open, democratic, and national dialogue, which will facilitate moving the country into a democratic and pluralistic system that meets the aspirations of all the Syrians.
