"Mr President, the situation of Rafah Nached is a symbol, especially for her European friends, of the repression that is gripping Syria. She was arrested at the airport when arriving from Paris to be present at her daughter’s confinement. Aged 66, she is seriously ill, and her state of health is getting worse. We must therefore do everything we can to obtain the release of this woman, who has always worked hard to encourage dialogue between all Syrians.
Ms Nached is a true symbol. She is a symbol of the terrible repression in Syria against all those peaceful demonstrators, who are entirely innocent. Thousands of people have been imprisoned, hundreds have been killed, mainly because they had the courage to photograph the repression. They paid with their lives for those photographs that tell us what is happening. Yet the voice of the European Union is not strong enough. The sanctions announced are inadequate and poorly implemented.
Only through pressure being exerted on the Syrian bourgeoisie can President al-Assad be toppled. What is the European Union waiting for before it will implement effective sanctions?"@en1
