"Madam President, we are asking the Government and the President of Syria to remit the sentence being served by a well-known lawyer and human rights defender and to acquit him. This is the right way to make our request, because it is these authorities of the state which make the decisions. However, I would like to recall something: not long ago, towards the end of the last parliamentary term, we played host, in this Chamber, to the Grand Mufti of Syria, who spoke during a plenary sitting of how there are civil liberties in Syria and that the principles of democracy and freedom of speech are upheld. Perhaps we ought to turn to him, because he is a great authority in Syria and someone who enjoys support in society. It may be that he will be able to influence the Government and the President. Perhaps we should ask him to join the fight for the release of a defender of human rights, who, after all, has been unjustly sentenced."@en1
