lpv:translated text	"I too, of course, wish to join those who have called today in this Chamber for the immediate release of Haitham Al-Maleh. As has already been said, he is an 80-year-old man in a frail state of health and this case must surely be judged from a humanitarian perspective. Apart from the purely humanitarian aspect of this case, we must take into account that Haitham Al-Maleh has been convicted by a military tribunal, following a trial where his fundamental rights have been completely flouted, and that this verdict, as we have already been reminded, contravenes international norms. Why has this happened? Simply because Haitham Al-Maleh has done what he has been doing for well over four decades, which is to speak in very serious, plain and critical terms about the freedom which is sought after in order to improve the situation for people in this country. I think that the Syrian authorities must look at the prospect of signing the Association Agreement with the EU as an incentive to improve the overall human rights situation. It is therefore time for Syria to show that the commitments it has made to human rights are not only at a structural level, but are also put into practice in this society."@en1
