Alternattiva Demokratika has urged the Maltese government to condemn strongly the Syrian regime led by Bashar al-Assad.
Arnold Cassola, AD’s spokes-man on EU and International Affairs Arnold Cassola, said: “The Syrian government has turned against its own people and is committing horrendous atrocities on innocent and unarmed civilians, including senior citizens, women and children.
“The Maltese government should use all its influence in the EU and the UN to bring about a strong condemnation of the brutal and heartless Assad regime.”
Chairman Michael Briguglio added that AD supported the democratic opposition forces in Syria and other countries led by brutal dictatorships, urging the EU to actively support them.
