This resolution, in part, commends the bravery of the Syrian people who, on March 15, 2011, rose up in protest against the brutal Assad regime at the risk of their own safety. "Eleven years ago, the people of Syria peacefully stood up for freedom from oppression by the Assad regime only to be met with bullets, torture, and death. Half a million Syrians have been killed by Assad and his backers and over 13 million have been forced to flee their communities. On this anniversary of the Syrian revolution, we recommit ourselves to honoring their sacrifices and securing justice for the Syrian people. Assad and his backers will be held accountable for the countless crimes against humanity," said Congressman Wilson. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:06:17Z |
