FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
The Sunday Times and the Foreign Office both confirmed Mr Conroy’s arrival in
Lebanon. Ricken Patel, Executive Director of Avaaz, described Mr Conroy’s
rescue as a “huge relief”, adding: “but this must be tempered
with the news that three remain unaccounted for and with our respects for
the incredibly courageous activists who died during the evacuation attempts.”
On Monday night, an attempt by the Syrian Arab Red Crescent – the local
affiliate of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) – to
evacuate Mr Conroy and Miss Bouvier from the Baba Amr area of Homs came to
nothing. They are understood to have been unwilling to leave with the Red
Crescent. An ICRC spokesman said that any removal of journalists from Syria “definitely”
had nothing to do with them.
Last Friday, three ambulances from the Syrian Arab Red Crescent reached Baba
Amr by agreement with the regime and brought seven wounded civilians out of
the area.
On that occasion, the ICRC said that Mr Conroy and Miss Bouvier had “refused
to be evacuated” by the Syrian Arab Red Crescent when the group “offered to
take them out”.
The journalists might have been worried about the impartiality of this
organisation’s local volunteers. Opponents of President Bashar al-Assad
believe the Syrian Arab Red Crescent is under the influence of the regime.
Between 20,000 and 30,000 people live in Baba Amr which has now been under
bombardment for 24 consecutive days. Many of the wounded are being treated
in makeshift clinics often located in mosques or private houses.
Injured people are often afraid to seek treatment from state hospitals or any
organisation linked to the government because they fear the security forces
will arrest any patient suspected of opposing the regime.
