The So-called “White Helmets” are criminals, they should face trial: Laverentiev

NUR-SULTAN-  Members of the so-called White Helmets non-governmental organization should face trial over their criminal activities, Russian Special Presidential Representative for Syria Alexander Laverentiev said in an interview with TASS on Friday.

“Those people are criminals. They provoke, confrontation and stoke tensions,” Laverentiev said. “Eventually, they should be brought accountable. I think that each of them will face trial sooner or later.”

“I believe that that work should get started. They should be disclosed and evidence of their criminal activities should be collected. There is already lots of evidence,” he added, according to Tass.

 Commenting on an item in the joint statement of the guarantor states (Russia, Turkey and Iran) concerning ensuring security of the civilians in Idlib, Laverentiev said “I would like to stress once more that  the targets of all Russian airstrikes are checked several times from various sources. They are conducted only against militants and ammo depots,” he said.

Laverentiev also told Tass that an international conference on humanitarian assistance to Syria is expected to take place in October or November.

According to him “the goal is to provide humanitarian assistance to Syria. First of all, it concerns the early reconstruction of the country, including basic infrastructure, such as energy and water facilities, schools, hospitals and administrative buildings”.
