Syrian human rights activist Ribal al-Assad Tore in Europe To lift sanctions against the new “terrorist” regime of the nation, which he warned, is no better than his first cousin, driven leader Bashar al-Assad.
After days of bloodshed, Syria’s interim president, Ahmed al-Sharaa, leader of the armed forces Die Assad, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), on Thursday a temporary constitution signed the country under Islamic rule for at least five years.
But the government of Al-Sharaa went on a ‘revenge murder distribution’, according to officers at a low level that were employed in Assad’s forces, together with Alawite and Christian minorities, including, according to Al-Assad.
“They could not have refused (military service). Those who refused were put in prisons,” he said, adding that officers had fled the country at a high level in the troops of Assad.

While much of Syria was Glad to see the expulsion of Bashar al-Assad, religious and ethnic minorities have remained skeptical about the new leadership that was once bound to Alaida.
Ribal al-Assad insisted that the new regime is “an Islamic caliphate. They want a theocracy. They want to replace a dictatorship with cult, as it happened in Iran 45 years ago.”
He said Christians were entangled next to AlaWites In the distribution distribution because “Christians and AlaWites live together. In my city we have Christians who live there. We have always lived … side by side, and they celebrate holidays together.”
In December, the Biden administration removed the old premium on the head of HTS leader Ahmed al-Sharaa.
Europe suspended a range of sanctions on the new Syrian government at the end of last month, although the US still has many other punitive financial measures.
“After 14 years of destroying destruction of so much mass murder, you know, it is really not normal that the international community is coming, you know, for example, to have Europeans who cancel sanctions … About this terrorist regime and say: ‘Oh, there are snapback santions in the case that this regime does something that is registered with the sanctions, “said al-assad.
“What worse (HTS) could do for you to restore them?”
Al-Assad tore the European Commission for inviting Al-Sharaa for a donor conference to raise money for his government.
“European countries (go) to give him money, to give him more money so that he can encourage and reward him for the murder he has done, instead of saying:” We will not cancel sanctions until we see a new program, a modern constitution, secular constitution that guarantees equality of all citizens and the rule of law. “
