Arab League The Arab League met on Sunday 22nd January and decided to continue the observer mission in Syria for one more month, except for Saoudi Arabia, that found that Assad had not respected his part of the deal. The Arab League asked Assad to delegate power to his vice-president so that he can create a united government with the opposition and then organise elections. Syria rejected this initiative.

Yesterday was Friday of support to the Free Syrian Army. Freedom Convoy On Thursday 12th January, a humanitarian convoy named "Freedom Convoy" tried to cross Syrian borders on Turkish and Jordan sides with caravans fulled of medical supplies and food ; they were stopped by Syrian authorities.

SIGN PLEASE - Arrest Syria's torturers :  here Assad's speach Assad talked for almost two hours yesterday, the 10th January, still pretending the slaughter was a foreign conspiracy. He admitted the killing, but claimed that there wasn't enough proof to arrest everyone involved in the government (but apparently there's enough proof to arrest, kill and torture tens of thousands of Syrian citizens).

Explosion in Damascus the 6th January 2012 "Another explosion in Damascus...in the middle of an area which is heavily protected by security. The government is playing the same dirty game again. Weeks ago there was an explosion only in the upper floors of a security building. It claimed a suicide bomber did it, and was able to ''identify'' the person within ''15 minutes'', a period which is too short to make a urine analysis. TV cameras were of course present there by pure, spontaneous, coincidence to film the whole thing. It apparently gathered prisoners it wanted to execute, with the bodies of prisoners already executed, and bombed them there to claim it is ''armed gang'' who did it. We asked for DNA tests to identify the b
