"Mr President, the case of Rafah Nached has profoundly shocked everybody in this House. I am pleased that irrespective of which parliamentary party takes the floor, Members are essentially speaking with one voice. We all demand that this courageous woman be released. At the same time, the problem under discussion here today does not concern only this event, outrageous though it may be. The problem is that of democracy in Syria.
I believe that what we have been witnessing in the course of the Arab Spring makes it imperative that we, in this House, recognise that events of unprecedented importance for the history of the world are happening as we watch. We are thus learning that the opinions of some people that only some civilisations, some religions and some cultures are destined to experience democracy and freedom, whereas others are not mature enough to embrace democracy, are wrong. Our Arab brothers today are paying in blood because of their struggle for freedom. This is strong confirmation of the fact that freedom is for all and that democracy is for everybody."@en1
