Hezbollah accused of role in Assad’s brutal crackdown

Share:

Youth Coalition of the Syrian Revolution leader Wahid Saqr on Friday accused Lebanon’s Hezbollah group of having deployed armed militias in Syria, assisting the regime there in the brutal crackdown of pro-democracy protesters.

In an interview with Al Arabiya TV, Saqr said the coalition has documented proofs implicating Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in the bloody crackdown on protesters in Syria. He said Nasrallah has sent armed militias working side by side with Bashar al-Assad’s security forces.

Nasrallah on Friday called for a “peaceful resolution” in crisis-hit Syria, warning of regional fallout.

“All those who claim they are friends of Syria … must step up efforts to help calm the situation in Syria and encourage dialogue and a peaceful resolution,” he told a massive crowd in the southern village of Maroun al-Ras via video link.

“Anything else is dangerous for Syria, Palestine and the region,” the Shiite leader said in a speech to mark “Quds Day,” an annual Iranian-inspired event to show solidarity with Palestinians.

Maroun al-Ras was the scene of a May 15 shooting in which Israeli troops fired on thousands of Palestinian refugees marching towards the border with Israel, killing seven and injuring 111, according to the United Nations.

Iranian President Mahmud Ahmadinejad, a major ally of the Syrian regime as well as Hezbollah, on Wednesday also urged the Syrian regime and people to reach a peaceful “understanding.”

Nasrallah, whose militant party fought a devastating war with Israel in 2006, accused the West, notably Washington, of aiming to turn Syria into “another Lebanon: confessionally divided … and headed towards partition.”

“Lebanon is not immune to the situation in Syria. Negative developments like positive developments will affect the entire region,” warned Nasrallah.

The United Nations estimates Syrian security forces have killed more than 2,200 people since demonstrations calling for the ouster of President Bashar al-Assad erupted in March.

    Now …… think of this:  what’s to keep these HA street-turds from turning their guns on Lebanese protesters when the un-armed peoples of Lebanon think it is time to protest here in Lebanon itself??  And THEN think about if the people protest against HA’s illegal arms themselves!

    Oh yes, people … please be silent and do not make trouble. Try some dialogue for a few decades. We might need to kill more of you if you do not stop standing in a street.. or a mosque .. asking for that horrible democracy.

    the lebanese logic baffles the mind really, way back when, when hizbilkhara had no involvement in the government some stupid politicians decided if we give them power and a hand in the government they will see that there is no need for their weapons and they will give them up along with their agendas and aspirations(to turn lebanon into another shi3a hellhole)… they act like they were born yesterday, you dont get rid of a cancer by feeding it and ignoring it as it grows. hizbilkhara exists because the lebanese allow them to exist, hizbilkhara intimidates people because the lebanese allow them to intimidate them, hizbilkhara needs to be destroyed but the lebanese dont allow that to happen. DO THE LEBANESE KNOW WHAT THEY WANT? or are they just stupid and glutons for punishment?

    1. most of the times where we are to day is because of decisions we made  yesterday,,,lebanon has been a divided household which makes it a weak disfunctional houshold. just like like a divorce poisons the family climate and becomes the process of turning love into hate the lebanese people have divorced one another and here is where the breakdown gets worse, the new guy or gal  that comes as the rescuing hero  creating  an instant bond and comforts to the point   that you let him or her in your circle giving them access and opportunity to  be another complex factor, your failure  to realize that he or she has her own idiosincrosies and agenda puts you in a deeper hole. my point is   you are right most  lebanese people dont look too far ahead and only they could have resolved their differences amicably if they were humble and wise but now that they dated the new gal (syria ,iran israel,us, and so on and so on) they got owned buy the diabolical ones who played the game better with less emotion and more tact. i sympathize for  your frustration but the damage is done and sadly many times we get what we deserve when we dont look too far into the future.

  13. The threats are the best part. Im sick of these guys telling us that events in Syria will have an impact on Lebanon as if it was natural or some kind of storm we cant stop. If the events in syria impact lebanon its because of you and others like you from both sides who allow it and who fight other nations battles in lebanon. Nothing happened ksa or uae after bahrain, nothing happened in countries around libya, egypt and tunis (except the fact that these 3 countries are very close to one another) what do they want to say? we will have a civil war in lebanon is assad is deposed? Maybe if you didnt support assad publicly you would have a chance at keeping your supply lines open when the new government takes power but you chose a side and threatening the lebanese people with war is not going to stop whats happening in syria.
