DPNN met @TheICMP in The Hague, submitting a statement on the Suwayda massacre & the fate of abducted women & children. We urge @TheICMP, @UN, @UN_Women, @EU_Commission, @UNHumanRights & allies to intensify pressure on Damascus until every abductee is freed. #SaveAsSuwayda
“You have two parties who are sort of talking different languages,” @BrowneGareth tells me, about the rift between al-Sharaa and his country’s minorities after waves of sectarian violence. (2/2)
Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa was warmly embraced by world leaders as he made his #UNGA debut, but back home in Syria, many in the Druze minority say they are losing faith in his government, after being attacked in July. Our technical director and editor Raed Ballan is from Suwayda, and through his lens, we’ve put together this report. And a warning, it contains disturbing and graphic video. (1/2)
Thank you @ClareONeilMP for standing in solidarity with the Druze community and other persecuted minorities in Syria. Your support means so much to us 🙏.

🔴🇸🇨وقفة احتجاجية للكشف عن مصير 220 سيدة درزية مختطفة من السويداء
الوقفة الاحتجاجية نظمتها سيدات من السويداء في مدرج الملعب الروماني بمدينة شهبا للكشف عن مصير السيدات المختطفات أثناء الغزوة البربرية التي نفذها النظام الإرهابي على مدينة السويداء.
We want our Druze women free today, not tomorrow!
Every day they remain detained is poison to us.
If you can abandon your women, we will never abandon ours.
Their freedom is our honor and we won’t compromise for a single moment!

NL @ministerBZ , @EU_Commission & @POTUS moeten in actie komen: mensen daar zitten al weken zonder voedsel na slachtpartijen door de milities van het regime Al-Julani.
Gisteren sprak ik in Den Haag met Druzen die familie in Syrië hebben. Hun verhalen grepen mij naar de keel. NL & EU moeten in actie komen: mensen daar zitten al weken zonder voedsel na slachtpartijen door de milities van het regime Al-Julani.

شهادة من ابنة الشهيد منير الرجمي الذي قُتل لأنه درزي ولم يشفع له أنه سوري، على يد مقاتلين إرهابيين أرسلهم الإرهابي أبو محمد الجولاني
My father was killed by the security forces who failed this country. His Syrianness did not save him… they called him Druze.” These are the words of the daughter of Munir Al-Rajma (منير الرجمة), filmed during one of the many field executions that took place on the outskirts of Suweyda. The killings occurred amid the Syrian transitional government’s bloody July offensive, carried out under the guise of a “security operation” to restore order but in reality aimed at subjugating the Druze.
