Killing the rebel people and the regime’s chemical weapons

21/8/2013

At dawn on August 21, 2013, hundreds of Syrians, a huge number of them children and women, fell victims to deadly weapons, namely poisonous gases and the explicit use of chemical weapons, in the areas of eastern Ghouta in the countryside of Damascus, as part of a military attack that is the most violent launched by the regime since this morning on these areas, and the list of torments and sacrifices of the masses of our people has been going on for more than two years, as it is no longer possible to count hundreds of thousands of martyrs, wounded, detainees and millions of displaced and refugees.

The tortures of our people are prolonged and becoming unbearable, their cries go nowhere, the silence of the dead hangs over the human conscience, the massacre of our people and their oppression at the hands of the death and destruction machine of a regime that brutally surpassed fascism, in a tragedy that the world has not seen for a long time, the tragedy of a people who our revolution has a loyal ally, except the revolutions of the peoples of the region and the world and all those who are fighting for salvation from the regimes of ignorance, enslavement and exploitation.

This criminal and terrible act of the ruling junta’s authority against the masses of our people of unarmed civilians is a terrible disregard for human conscience, and at a time when the counter-revolutionary forces began to organize their counter-offensive against the revolutions throughout the region led by Saudi Arabia and its allies, the regime may have seen in it an opportunity to commit its heinous massacre.

But our revolutionary and steadfast people will bite their wounds, and continue to resist the criminal tyrants until their defeat and inflict the strict punishment they deserve for their crimes, we will bury our dead and heal our wounds, and we are more determined and resolute in our struggle for the overthrow of the regime of murder and destruction and the victory of our popular revolution in order to build a Syria of freedom, justice, equality and social justice.

Neither Washington nor Moscow, neither Riyadh nor Tehran..

Glory to the martyrs, healing for the wounded and victory for the popular revolution..

All the power and wealth of the people..
