Syria Renews Call on UN, UNSC to Force Occupation to Immediately Release All Syrian Prisoners, Stop Violations in Occupied Territories
NEW YORK, (ST)-Munzer Munzer, the Charge d’ Affaires of Syria’s Permanent delegation to the United Nations has stressed the need to end the policy of random arbitrary arrests adopted by the Israeli occupation forces against the Syrians in the occupied Syrian Golan.
Munzer’s remarks came during a Security Council session on the situation in the Middle East yesterday.
He renewed Syria’s urgent call on the UN and the Security Council to act as to end the Israeli occupation of Arab territories and to intensify necessary humanitarian efforts to force Israel to immediately and unconditionally release all the Syrian prisoners including Golan’s freedom fighter Siqi al-Maqt named as “Syria’s Mandela”
Al-Maqt was rearrested in February last year for his sought to document the Israeli occupation’s relation with the armed terrorist organizations in Syria and its unlimited support for the terrorists in the disengagement area in the Golan. Al-Maqt had spent 27 years in the occupations jails for nothing but for his resistance and rejection of the Israeli identity.
Munzer said that during the ongoing crisis in Syria, Israel has added a new chapter to its violations record by providing all forms of support to the terrorists in the disengagement area, a matter that exposed the lives of UNDOF forces to huge danger.
He condemned the UN and Security Council’s deliberate inaction to force Israel to end its occupation of the Arab territories and to stop its violations of the international laws, pointing out that no progress has been achieved in the issue of ending the Israeli occupation despite the hundreds of UN resolutions that demanded Israel to withdraw from all the occupied Arab territories to the June 4th, 1967 line.
He stressed that this inaction has emboldened Israel into thinking that it is immune from accountability, allowing it to continue its policies of aggression in the occupied Syrian Golan and other occupied Arab territories, as well as its support for terrorist organizations in the disengagement zone in the Golan.
