A hunger strike against the violations on Syria

Going on a hunger strike is a form of sit-in and symbolizes  rejection .It is carried out by many Palestinian prisoners in rejection of the policy of the Zionist enemy.

Today, Ahmad Jibril, the Syrian-Palestinian citizen, adopted this method in protest against the repeated aggression on Syria and the economic sanctions against it.

He wrote on a board “a hunger strike to stop the external violations on Syrian territory”

He took the Mezzeh Garden in the center of Damascus as a place for him, facing the United Nations UNICEF.

Syria Times interviewed citizen Ahmed Jibril, who explained to us about his reasons and goals” I was inspired by the idea of steadfastness from the Palestinian prisoners who  did it and forced the Israeli enemy to respond to their demands”.

 And I did it as a Syrian civilian citizen to express my anger at the repeated attacks on Syria by America and Israel and the theft of Syria’s oil and wheat in northern Syria by Turkey”.

Jibril indicated that the day of the interview was his day seventh day of the strike.He said , “I am continuing with it, and I call on the Syrians to join me, so that the world may move and help to  stop the attacks and to lift the sanctions on the Syrian people.”

Jibril mentioned that a UNICEF employee asked him to stop the strike and submit an official request in UNICEF, but he refused and insisted on his method of sit-in because he does not trust their support.

“The United Nations is unfair  with sending some food baskets that do not make any difference in light of the unjust sanctions against the Syrian people.”

Jibril confirmed to Syriatimes that he expected a response  and  he will remain steadfast until the last breath to force the world to condemn America and Israel and recognize the sovereignty of Syria.
