For almost 2
years Western media and governments have been leveling a flurry of accusations
against the legal and legitimate head of the Syrian state, against his
government and against Syria's military. They try to make appear the victim as
the perpetrator, as they did in Libya and in other free and independent
countries. Indeed armed groups, some more organized than others, some coming
from abroad are spreading terror in Syria. It is therefore normal for the
legitimate regime of Syria to send in the police and the military to fight the
uprising. According to the most basic legal principles - principles that ensure
peace among nations - governments have the duty to protect the people from
domestic and foreign attacks. Ensuring law and order is a government's main
duty. What would our governments do if part of the population uprose to
overthrow them with the help of foreign mercenaries? Wouldn't they send in the
police and the military? Would they step down without batting an eyelid as they
are asking the legitimate Syrian government to do?
The truth is
that, not only there is an aggression against Syria, but there is also an
organized propaganda campaign orchestrated at the international level, aimed at
misleading the public and stirring trouble. Some footage of the so-called
repression from the Syrian army was not even shot in Syria. The aim of this
propaganda campaign that blatantly flouts international law is to egg on the uprising,
to fuel the civil war and to deny the regime its legitimacy by demonizing
it. Those who are orchestrating this
campaign are judges and executioners.
Indeed the same countries, their servants and their allies (such as Qatar and Saudi Arabia, which are cruel and intolerant toward their own people) are on the one hand presenting themselves as the judges of the Syrian Government and the Syrian Army and on the other hand they support, bankroll and give weapons to mercenaries, who are often foreign, who inflict destruction and violence upon Syrian civilians. It is these mercenaries that the Syrian military is fighting. The real criminals are Western governments and their servants: Qatar and Saudi Arabia. They triggered that fratricidal war and they have been fueling it since the very beginning. If it hadn't been for their support to the rebels and mercenaries, order would have been restored in Syria a long time ago and the Western media wouldn't be able to carry out that propaganda campaign.
Western governments
took advantage of the wind of revolt that was sweeping some Muslim countries to
spark off armed rebellions in other countries whose leaders they disliked
because they were not bowing and scraping to them. Western governments along
with subservient media outlets are well intent on taking advantage of the
situations they have created to speak out against the legitimate governments of
those countries, to discredit them and finally attack them militarily. They
have no qualms resorting to lies and falsehoods. They systematically hold the
governments in power and their armies responsible for the atrocities committed
by foreign aggressors themselves.
Whether it is out of ignorance, cowardice or lack of morals, politicians, journalists, intellectuals, and jurists in Europe, in the Middle East and in other places are part of that propaganda campaign with the blessing of the United states. They all believe they can speak in the name of righteousness and the fight of good against evil.

They are wrong. The signatories of this petition are lawyers from different countries, who don't want to interfere in Syria's domestic affairs. They just want to say in the name of Reason and Dignity that the tactics used against Syria outrages them. We support the Syrian government in its just struggle against a domestic and foreign aggression. We condemn all forms of support from abroad to these good-for-nothings who spread terror and death, who are presented by the West as « the free Syrian army ». We pledge to do our utmost to help the Syrian government defend its legitimacy and authority and to bring the truth on this aggression to light. The sole victim of this aggression is the Syrian people. As in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya Western imperialism shamelessly denounces the suffering it has caused in the first place.
