The Syrian Future Movement offers its condolences to the people of Qarfa, in the central Daraa countryside, and throughout Syria, for the horrific massacres that occurred between 2013 and 2015. These massacres followed the confession and testimony of former Popular Committees member Khaldoun Ibrahim al-Kayed al-Ghazali, who confessed to the Assad regime’s perpetration of these massacres and then covered them up.
The Syrian Future Movement relies on this incident, perpetrated by criminals from the same town as the criminal Major General Rustum al-Ghazali, to argue that our problem in Syria is not sectarian. Rather, it is between a free people yearning for freedom, and a Syrian regime that has gathered monsters around it to serve its interests and perpetuate its rule.
The Syrian Future Movement believes that Syria is in dire need of a transition to true social justice to move beyond the era of war and bloodshed. Otherwise, any other solution is merely a waste of time, a squandering of rights, and a raging fire beneath it.
The Syrian Future Movement calls for holding every criminal involved in shedding Syrian blood accountable through a free, national, and impartial judiciary. This is the only guarantee that these horrific human assassinations will not be repeated. It also protects the witnesses of these massacres, not least Khaldoun al-Ghazali, and benefits from their testimonies through local and international courts.
The Syrian Future Movement believes that identifying individual and collective massacres is impossible without changing the structure of the current Syrian regime and without Syrians agreeing on a new phase in which just law is applied.
The Syrian Future Movement believes that the civil records of all Syrian citizens and residents, particularly those preceding and following any known violations and massacres, must be audited quickly, so that they include at least the massacres of the 1980s and up to the present day.
The Syrian Future Movement disowns every criminal and killer, regardless of party, whether affiliated with the Syrian regime or the current de facto authorities. We believe in the necessity of holding all criminals accountable on an equal footing, regardless of their political stance, religious affiliation, or social standing.
