    Press Release:

    SAC Urges the Arab League to Take a Strong Stance, Stop Watching the Syrian

    Regime's Crime

    (Chicago, IL, 1/9/12) - The Syrian American Council (SAC) urges the Arab League

    to stop providing the Syrian regime more time to continue its crimes against the

    Syrian people. The Syrian regime continues killing peaceful demonstrators andcivilians instead of complying with the Arab League demands.

    The Arab League monitors appear incapable of stopping the Syrian regime's brutal

    crackdown or reporting accurate events from Syria. The lack of action by the Arab

    League has created the feeling that it is a partner of the Syrian regime in its crimes

    against the Syrian people.

    http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/01/09/us-syria-idUSTRE8041A820120109The monitors have failed to stop the killing in Syria. The regime hasn't released the

    thousands of protesters incarcerated as it had agreed; it hasn't withdrawn its army

    from the cities and continues to prevent foreign journalists to enter the country."We do not believe that the Arab League observers are capable of putting an end to

    the regime's violent crackdown against peaceful demonstrators. The events during

    the past two weeks and history have shown that criminals and brutal dictators will

    not stop their crimes unless a credible power intervenes. The Arab League should

    have the courage to admit its failure in this mission instead of continuing to watch

    Assad's slaughtering of the Syrian people," said SAC President Talal Sunbulli.SAC urges the Arab League to refer the Syria file to the UN Security Council to

    implement measures, including the establishment of safety zones and humanitarian

    corridors, to stop the Syrian regime's crimes and to protect civilians demanding

    freedom, democracy and dignity.

    SAC was founded in 2005 to mobilize Syrian Americans to strengthen civil society

    in Syria, to promote friendly relations between the Syrian and American peoples, toengage civic and governmental organizations to advance civil liberties, human

    dignity and democracy in Syria. The organization has represented Syrian

    Americans to the U.S. State Department, Congress, and in international meetings

    and councils.
