"Having participated in an Irish delegation to Bahrain to investigate alleged human rights abuses in July 2011, I have witnessed with my own eyes the frightening results of authoritarian governments acting swiftly and brutally against their own people. The actions taken by Bahraini authorities pale in comparison to the systematic and illegal brutality unleashed by the Syrian forces. In Bahrain, the pressure exerted by our delegation appears to have had some small positive impact, playing a part in the recent release of wrongfully imprisoned medics. While we continue to monitor the situation in Bahrain, I feel compelled to join my ALDE colleagues in this attempt to maintain Europe's focus on the terrifying, continuing, serious and systematic violations of human rights occurring in Syria. I wish to echo in the strongest possible terms the call for further EU action in response to the deteriorating situation in Syria, including harsher measures against the Syrian regime and those loyal to the regime, in particular by freezing direct investments from within the EU in key sectors of the Syrian economy."@en1
