Petition for the Eviction of the Syrian Ambassador in the UK

Petition summary and background: It is 9th month since the Syrian people stood up to demand the respect of their fundamental human rights after 40 years of silence. The Syrian government met these demands with bullets and tanks, targeting civilians and activists, men and women, elderly and children alike. The UN Human Rights Committee and the International Community has strongly condemned the military crackdown on peaceful protesters. As the pressure is mounting on people, and as the government is pushing its supporters to use armed violence against opposition, signs of civil embattlement are already there. The only guarantee to avoid escalation of violence is to stop immediately security forces and unlawful killings of peaceful demonstrators and others and cease human rights violations.

Action petitioned for: We, the undersigned, are concerned citizens who urge the British government to announce personnel of the Syrian Embassy, the Syrian Ambassador in the UK, Persona Non Grata. This personnel is not only supporting the regime in its crimes, but is also involved in "harassment and intimidation" of Syrians protesting in the UK, and their families back at home. We, the signatories, believe that the British government should have a stronger position, and take tangible action to protect its citizens and further the respect of human rights. This action will send a strong message to the Syrian regime to immediately stop its crimes, and end the intimidation of Syrians in Britain.
