Damascus, (ST) – The Committee of Arab and Foreign Affairs and Expatriates in the People’s Assembly condemned the actions of the separatist “SDF” militia supported by the American occupation, in stopping  and preventing the education of students in northern Syria according to the curriculum approved by the Syrian state. It stressed that this is contrary to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the United Nations Charter and international law.

In a statement, the committee called for taking all necessary measures from international parliamentary organizations and the international community for the continuity of education. It stressed that what the separatist “SDF” militia is doing is cutting water and electricity to the people of the Syrian Al-Jazeera region and stopping education in schools in those areas according to the Syrian curriculum approved by the Ministry of Education .This  is a clear violation of Article (26) of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights .

The statement pointed out that these actions are carried out under the cover and support of the American occupation.

The committee reiterated its affirmation of the sovereignty of the Syrian state, the independence of its decision, the unity and integrity of its lands and people, and its right to use all legitimate methods to confront terrorist organizations supported by the American, Turkish and Israeli occupation.
