The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

BREAKING A Turkish court on Thursday acquitted four journalists, including AFP photographer Yasin Akgul, who were on trial over mass demonstrations in Istanbul in March.

The four were arrested several days into the wave of protest sparked by the arrest of Istanbul's opposition mayor Ekrem Imamoglu

RIP Syrian Human Rights Defender #KhalilMatouq

He was last seen in September 2013, in Military Security Branch 235, Damascus, known as the 'Palestine Branch'.

Our deepest sympathy to all those who love and grieve him.

Catherine Connolly met with a militia leader who committed war crimes against Palestinian refugees.

Saed Abd Al-Aal led a pro-Assad armed group responsible for killing, starvation & forced displacement of Palestinians in the refugee camp in Yarmouk.

Paediatrician @annie_sparrow
6 yrs exp in Syria
gave incontrovertible evidence to Dáil JFAC
of Assad stealing 50%++ of UN aid

Catherine Connolly
in a disgraceful letter
contradicted her
& insisted aid continue to go to Assad

& disgustingly insulted true humanitarian Dr Sparrow

Ms Connolly's 'fact-finding' trip to Syria brought back no facts

She never spoke of Assad slaughter of Palestinians in Yarmouk.

Imagine a TD going to Gaza, meeting IDF commander, coming back with nothing to say but ask to lift sanctions on Israel, & leave IDF in control of aid

For 14 yrs we witnessed & spoke about what we witnessed as Syria was annihilated by the Assad regime.

We called out Irish TDs & MEPs whose actions aided & abetted the regime.

We often spoke into a void.

Most disappointing was that many on the left ignored Syrian suffering totally.

ISSM:

Connolly & 3 other TDs visit to Syria in 2018 provided a lifeline to the regime.

She went on a 'fact-finding' mission & came back with no facts about Assad Russia Iran warcrimes & atrocities.

Never mentioned #Seydnaya death camp.

Catherine Connolly failed to answer questions about her infamous trip to Syria with Clare Daly, Mick Wallace et al. This video featuring leaders of the Syrian community in Ireland and the country’s leading campaign group, all directly involved and protested that visit at the time, reveal why it cannot be ignored and must be addressed during the presidential election campaign.#CatherineConnolly #ClareDaly #MickWallace #Syria #Yarmouk #Assad #Warcrimes #CrimesAgainstHumanity #áras25View all comments

Catherine Connolly has not admitted nor explained her meeting with Saed Abd al-Aal,
commander of the Free Palestine Movement,
known as the butchers of Yarmouk.
FPM acted as enforcers for Assad, through massacres & rape, in the Palestinian camp of Yarmouk.

Why did #CatherineConnolly not carry out “due diligence” check on either militia commander Saed Abd al-Aal or high-ranking Assadist Fares al-Shehabi?

At best, lack of judgement -- At worst, effective support for propaganda of a murderous regime in #Syria
