Syriac Union Party in Syria denounces prosecution of USUP President Ibrahim Mrad
SYRIA ꟷ After this week’s summoning to court of Universal Syriac Union (USUP) President Ibrahim Mrad by Lebanese judicial authorities following his public criticism of Hezbollah’s control over the Lebanon, the Syriac Union Party in Syria issued a statement denouncing Mrad’s arbitrary questioning by the authorities. Such judicial attempts only aim to undermine social freedoms and especially repress the freedom of expression. What happened to Ibrahim Mrad strikes at the heart of the democratic system, the Syriac Union Party in Syria stated
It added that Ibrahim Mrad’s criticism and national demands come from his sense of national responsibility and his practice of working in public affairs for years through the presidency of his party. Mrad advocates and clearly expresses the orientations of our Lebanese Syriac people and all the Lebanese through his sincere and just national demands.
The statement warned of the consequences of persisting in such illegal practices, and stressed that actions on the ground should be taken in all countries of Syriac presence to defend the freedoms of the people.
