DAMASCUS, (SANA) – The Syrian Human Rights Network (SHRN) affirmed that massive amounts of money were spent on collaborators with the US administration who claim to support human rights in Syria and show up on biased satellite channels to fabricate stories, events and lies that contradict reality.
In a statement issued on Friday, the SHRN said it will file lawsuits against these people and the first of them will be against the principal instigators, primarily Abdelkarim Rihawi and Ammar Qarbi (Qurabi) who chose a path in line with the conspiracy plot that instigates armed violence and infighting, effectively work to destroy Syria for pittance.
The SHRN stressed that human rights activities must be neutral in relaying news, affirming that what is happening in Syria is the opposite of the claims of biased satellite channels who fabricate and broadcast videos allegedly depicting events that took place in it.
The monitoring and follow-up committee at the SHRN said that what is shown on these satellite channels is completely baseless and that the news, images and material they present about the situation in Syria fall within the realm of instigation of armed violence covered by Articles 3 and 6 of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, the Rome Statute, and Syrian law.

However, conflicting reports coming from different opposition figures have dwindled hopes among Syrians and raised fears that the crisis would not see a foreseeable solution.
The Syrian Free Army, which was recently formed by defected army members, has reportedly agreed to stick to the provisions of the AL plan, but the Syrian National Council, which was announced by some opposition groups in Istanbul in October, seemed reluctant to participate in the dialogue with the government.
"We reject dialogue with a regime that has committed gross violations since its approval of the plan," the council said.
Some opposition figures contended that the government has failed to make good on any of its many promises since the eruption of anti-government protests in mid March.
Fayez Sarah, a prominent opposition figure, has reportedly said that the opposition is "not concerned with the AL plan," complaining that the AL has not contacted any of the opposition figures.

The United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon is scheduled to meet with representatives of the Syrian National Council soon in Cairo to press for launching a dialogue with the Syrian government.
Although it has approved the AL plan and showed readiness to embark on dialogue with opposition groups, the Syrian government insists that such dialogue should be held exclusively inside Syria, raising doubts over whether the two sides could reach an agreement and actually carry out the dialogue.
Syrian Kurds want Bashar Assad to stay

Syrian Kurds want Bashar Assad to stay. The supporters of Kurdish independence announced the beginning of the armed rebellion against Bashar Assad's regime. The story began on October 7 with the murder of one of the leaders of Syrian Kurds, Meshaal al-Tamo, in the north-east of Syria.
Tamo was killed near his house. The circumstances of his murder remain unclear. However, Western and Israeli media made Meshaal al-Tamo yet another victim of "Assad's bloody regime."
The champions of this version say that the victim was an ardent critic of the Syrian authorities. However, from the point of view of common sense, this does not meet the interests of the Syrian authorities. Syria wants the Kurds to be actively involved in the life of the country.
It is worthy of note that the inactivity of the Kurds became one of the discoveries of the so-called Syrian revolution. This became a surprise indeed, because everyone thought that the Kurds would struggle against the Syrian regime violently.
However, The Kurds showed no reaction at all. The Kurdish protests of 2011 pale in comparison with the football riots in 2004. The riots sparked after seven Kurdish football fans were killed in a brawl with Arab fans. Security services arrested over 2,000 people during those events.
Nowadays, the number of the "victims of the revolution" in the Kurdish territories of Syria is considerably lower than that in other parts of the country. One has to bear in mind the fact that the Kurds are one of the largest ethnic minorities of Syria: from 1.5 to 2 million people.
Many Kurds claim that Assad's regime suppresses their culture. The people particularly say that they are not allowed to teach the Kurdish language at schools, nor can they establish a Kurdish-language radio station. Others claim that Assad had taken away their lands in the border areas between Turkey and Iraq.
The inaction of the Kurdish population can be explained with the actions, which the Syrian authorities have taken recently. They realize how important the Kurdish issue can be for the country during the crucial moment of the national history.
Bashar Assad granted the Syrian citizenship to 300,000 Kurds in the very beginning of the riots in the country. There were no large-scale riots in the Kurdish areas of the country. This can be definitely referred to as one of the achievements of Bashar Assad's regime.
As a result, the Kurds find it hard to decide how they are supposed to react to the events in the country. The majority of the Kurdish leaders acknowledged that they did not have the program, which they could use in case of the collapse of the Ba'ath regime.
Many Kurds believe that the fall of Bashar Assad's regime will seriously complicate their lives. The fact that Turkey is taking an active part in the events in Syria also raises concerns with the Kurds. Turkey openly supports the Arab opposition. One can be certain that Turkey will not leave things to take their own course in the Syrian Kurdistan in case Assad's regime in the country falls. Ankara may simply occupy those lands.
Nevertheless, the quiet situation in Syria's Kurdish areas is a problem for many. The Syrian opposition does not have many achievements to boast of. The Syrian military suppressed all riots with relatively small losses. To put it in a nutshell, there is no point for the opposition to protest without the support from the Kurds.
