lpv:translated text	"Madam President, today we are discussing yet another situation of violation of human rights: that of the imprisonment of the Syrian activist Haythan Al-Maleh, an 80-year-old man, a lawyer, accused, they say, of distributing false and exaggerated information that weakens the national sentiment of his country. In addition to violating international treaties and conventions, the imprisonment of this man, who is a human rights defender, is also contrary to the legislation of that country, which stipulates that military tribunals are not competent to judge civilians. The decision that was taken regarding this man and other Syrian prisoners held for similar reasons, the various detentions, the restrictions to freedom of movement, and the arbitrary measures implemented by the Syrian authorities are practices that go against Syria’s important role throughout the region, and they do not reflect the efforts that have been being taken in this country to improve its social situation. I repeat, today we are discussing yet another situation of violation of human rights. It is not possible to separate it from the many discussions we have had here this week. I would highlight two: the first is the condemnation of the sentence to death by stoning imposed on Sakineh Ashtiani. Many voices joined together and there were some results. It is not yet time to declare victory; much less is it time to fall silent. The second is that we have adopted an important resolution today against abuses committed by President Sarkozy’s government against Romanian and Bulgarian citizens. The defence of human rights has no borders, and it is not a fight that can be fought only outside our walls. Today we gave a good example of how to also fight it within our own walls. The unjustifiable imprisonment of Haythan Al-Maleh united all of us here today. He is a human rights defender. Human rights defenders must be free, and this is what we demand of the Syrian authorities. We who are also human rights defenders will not abandon him."@en1
