Nabiha Hanna, Samir Sadiq
Assad’s prisons are well-known, and death in Assad’s prisons is well-known. Ask Wissam Sara and the 11,000 dead. Ask Hassan al-Khair about having his tongue cut out before his execution. Ask the prisoners of palmyra and Saidnaya. Ask Maher al-Assad about the photos of the dead he happily took in Saidnaya Prison, where he photographed the remains, from a leg to a severed head to a hand, etc. Now we hear news of the execution of 731 dissidents between December 24 and December 28, in four days.
The executions took place after an amicable agreement between the intelligence services and the Fourth Division. Supporters will say the news is fabricated, and that’s possible. However, fabricating such news does nothing to change the nature of the regime’s criminal practices.
Those who assassinate Wissam Sara also assassinate others. Those who see no need to explain Wissam Sara’s death see no need to justify the killing of hundreds of Syrians. Those who drop barrel bombs on residential areas, killing hundreds indiscriminately, and executing thousands of prisoners. Nothing new in Assad’s Syria…that’s how it was and that’s how it remains…the Republic of Fear!!! On this occasion, we would like to ask Mrs. Buthaina Shaaban about the issue of protecting Christians. The aforementioned lady declared her guardianship over Christians in Syria and the Levant in Geneva. One of the duties of a guardian is to protect those she has been entrusted with. She protects Christians, and priests should sleep with peace , with no fear for themselves or their flock, because they are under the protection of Mrs. Buthaina.
How does Buthaina protect Christians while she and her president Assad, are raising a state of fear and crime? As a Christian, I do not want to thank Buthaina Shaaban for her protection and guardianship, because she is not worthy of guardianship, and Christians do not need her guardianship or protection. Christians know very well that the Alawite Buthaina only wants to protect herself and her followers, enabling them to enslave and exploit others.
Lady Buthaina should know that the number of Christians has decreased by half in the last fifty years. The reason for this is Assad’s intellectual, economic, and social terrorism. The reason for this is the lack of freedoms, electoral fraud, corruption, favoritism, sectarianism, and the reason for more than that is the lack of social justice. Employment, Mrs. Buthaina, in all important positions for Alawites.
Let Buthaina Shaaban answer the following question: Is it possible to employ her Christian teacher, Professor Kamal Abu Deeb, as head of a department at the Syrian University, while he works as head of a department at Oxford University? The position and its equivalent belong to Bassam Abu Abdullah, who purchased his degree in Kazakhstan. I can name dozens of Christians who left the country in disgust, fleeing the abuse they and others were subjected to. Buthaina doesn’t want to protect Christians; rather, she wants to exploit and mobilize them to fight and die for Assad.
Christians have no interest in being tutelage or protected by any gang, no matter who they are. Christians and non-Christians want a democratic state where citizens are equal in rights and duties.we would love it if Buthaina Shaaban asked the Latakia writer Haifa Bitar about the issue of protecting Christians in Latakia, Haifa Bitar’s answer is published in this magazine. The one threatening Christians and non-Christians was the Assad thugs. Buthaina Shaaban’s insolence knows no bounds.
Can Buthaina Shaaban explain the issue of her Iraqi Shiite husband, who became Syria’s ambassador to another country without having Syrian citizenship? Is an Iraqi Shiite husband equal to a Syrian Christian? What qualifications does this officer have? We’re tired of your lies, Buthaina Shaaban. There are many questions you need to answer…the last of which is about the party that bought you that heavy fur coat. Shame on anyone who is like Buthaina Shaaban. Who even knows what’s wrong with Assad’s Syria?
