Why to Silence Freedom of Speech!

The repeated aggressions against Syrian Mass Media Means do assert that these means are effective, influential and professional. The main task of these means is to objectively and transparently convey the reality of events in Syria, characterized mostly by an internationally supported al-Qaeda affiliated terrorism against the majority of the Syrians. Terrorists from more than 83 countries have been flocking into the cradle of civilization as to destroy every aspect and feature of the Syrian civilization.

The Syrian media heroes, encouraged by their people, government, and leadership, have been more than keen on conveying and reporting the truth on the ground; that is Syria is indeed exposed to terrorism by cannibals supported and groomed by the ewes, petrodollars, some Western countries. The picture is well-known by now to the majority worldwide, thanks to the transparent and objective coverage of the Syrian and other objective media outlets. Of no less importance are the consequent press interviews given by H.E. President Bashar Al-Assad to scores of international media outlets, aired in different international languages: English, Spanish, French, Russian, Turkish, Chinese, German…Actually and as events and changes of public opinions in different countries have shown, President Al-Assad not only conveyed the reality, but has been able to change and shape the public opinion in more than a continent.

Thus, the need is dire by the anti-Syrians to silence the voice of truth and logic; the anti-Syrians have assassinated and kidnapped scores of Syrian media personnel, carried out scores of attacks against Syrian Media organs, the last of which was yesterday’s botched bid against Syrian TV and Radio, not to mention the sinister cutting of the Syrian Satellite transmission from NileSat.

Actually, we, in Syria, as H.E. President Al-Assad declared on November 10, 2005, the more we move ahead in terms of transparency and pass correct information quickly to our citizens, the more they will be immune. And no power whatsoever can make cause us neither panic nor fear. ”The Syrian people will not be defeated .We are not surprised by the attack, simply because these attacks reflect the bankruptcy of the terrorist groups. The professional performance of the Syrian media outlets made them the target for the terrorist attacks. Indeed, the Syrian media, under the wise directions of Minister Omran al-Zoubi, the long-awaited for field media soldier,  plays a vital role in confronting as well as foiling the plots against Syria.
