"By vetoing the UN Security Council draft resolution condemning the attacks by the Syrian regime on its own people, China and Russia have taken on a heavy moral and political responsibility. From a moral point of view, the Russian and Chinese Governments have become complicit in the massive repression which, in six months, has resulted in thousands of people being killed and dozens imprisoned arbitrarily. From a political point of view, even though the Arab League and neighbouring countries have called for the cessation of the violence, Russia and China have clearly rejected the legitimate demand for freedom, democracy and change from the people of the region. In the absence of a UN Security Council resolution, Europe must impose tougher sanctions on the regime of President al-Assad and give its full support to the newly established Syrian National Council."@en1
